Bolt on front wings
After a bit of feedback as to what you would do...
I'm having a pair of front wings fitted to the rs next week, I was just going to get them replaced like for like but is it worth changing them to be bolt on jobs? I'm only thinking so that if for whatever reason in the future I need to take them off then I don't need to disturb the paintwork.
It is a genuine rs and they weren't like that from the factory, but then again they didn't come with coilovers, charge coolers, or omex management!
What would you do???

Re: Bolt on front wings
Thanks guys, stole some photos off your project thread! give them to the garage t deal with!
what's the best way to fix where the wing meets the front valence low down and also where the base of the wing meets the sill?
at the valence they can bolt straight through cant they?
at the sill it is hidden behind the bodykit so again can just be bolted?
thanks
