Standard Spoiler and Version R wing

Post by yannino »

i want to replace my standard spoiler with a Version R wing.
i was just wandering if anyone knows if the holes are the same or if the Version R covers the holes of the standard. Eather way is fine i guess

not all do.

On the vr wing you have two bolts on each wing flap, one aligns nicely with the predrilled holes, but the other bolt doesnt have a hole to go into. The middle support bolts in nicely aswell. Its just the sides that wont be secure.

You'll need to drill an extra hole on each side of the boot so the wing flaps are secure. I havn't done this on mine yet, but the vr wing sits nicely and is at no risk of coming off because theres 3 bolts holding the whole thing down.

Hope that helps.
