For anyone watching the video the instructions is to build it fully off the car and then you slide it on built - makes it much easier than trying to assemble on the car ;) and when fitted the guide suggest the metal fitting sides get hand bent up to be in line with the wing
Good update.I did about a year ago, only one is not very sure because of the police issue and to pass the technical inspection to the Mini one must take out with that it does not happen.
Ah yes the challenge that the rule makers apply, some make sense and others... Maybe just say you own a GP, they have them from factory! Or you had a factory upgrade to the GP wing?
Thank you Paul. It certainly looks the part. I think the other version has slightly better integration between the upright and the wing blade itself, but the aluminium sides look absolutely fine to me!! Thank you for watching
Hi Mike, I assume they are in there somewhere, but I did not see them. They could be in behind the plastic covering, I will have to double check that. However, as above I did not see anything when I drilled the holes.
Have not really looked at the f56, r56, yes. The f56 wing is quite a bit bigger I believe, so bound to have bolts holding it, can you see any obvious bolt holes?
Would have been a lot more informative if you had someone hold the camera for you. Too much time just seeing you hands and not what was actually being done.
Agreed Paul, not my best work for sure! I am investing in more equipment to try and make sure viewers can see more of what I am doing in future videos. Appreciate the feedback
@@paullee2177 one thing I have found is that this wing is a tight fit in between the body and rear door. As you drive down the road and the chassis flexes you get noises from the rubbing. Something I need to look into. May have to run away a bit of the plastic fittings on the car to give more room
Nice, I was gonna take it off to clean around the small opening areas... not gonna now. New wing is cool
Thanks for watching, yep pain in the proverbial to remove! You might have to find a small brush of sorts to get in the areas that need cleaning

So much for me reading the instructions! Just noted a post on FB saying the ends should be bent up! Oops!

Two original holes in the rear door it's holy shit
Looks really good that. I think I prefer the Lite version. 👍🏼

What exact kind of string dod you use to remove that spoiler and where can I get it at?
I used fishing line, cannot remember the breaking strain, but the first lot was a bit lite weight!
Don't the rear wiper cables run through the window frame you drilled through?

I wish you would have done the F56… 😅 I’m looking for a way to get just the wing of for wrapping the car

had one on my R50 looked smart with the aero kit and ive got a factory oem shark aerial too, need to get another sorted out
I would not mind getting one of those shark fin antenna's! I am assuming that there are not a lot of them around!?
@@hyphensclassics check your local braker yard, I'm sure i saw one on ebay, I paid 20 pound for mine
Thanks, I was with a breaker just on Tuesday!! Forgot to ask! I will message them now
@@hyphensclassics ill find the part number for you
Very smart 👍
Thank you, it does look good. I like it 👌
Where did you get the patches?
Hi there, the patches came with the wing, from Orranje Performance

@@hyphensclassics Did get a lot of of it though. Thinking about replacing the stock wing on my 2006 R53.
