You can do it yourself yes but you will also find the GT-wing doesn't fit on those standard holes ... have fun going through what i did before :twisted:
The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

Any spray shop should be able to weld/spray the old holes and fit your new wing...

Boot lid comes off, stock wing comes off, holes get welded & filled, boot gets resprayed, new holes drilled for GT wing, GT wing is fitted. Find a panel beater & expect to pay somewhere bewteen 200 & 300.

You took the boot lid off? We didn't ??

What we did
1- Took old wing off (Type R wing)
2- Gave holes a bang to indent them and filled/sprayed (yeah - it's a white car!!! - easy)
3- Marked where new holes going
4- Drilled new holes
5- Vinyled GT wing to blend in with car (ie - put 2 blue stripes on it)
6- Put it on

Cheers
