Theres a thread somewhere pal, where someone's put one on with standard wings.
It needs a couple of centimeters taking off the arch.
If i remember right, it needed a fair bit of filler work.
It might be best just getting sport wings to go with.
That way, if you sell it you could always swap the originals back over.

After reading that guide, I'd be tempted to source the wings as well. Looks like a PITA. Or maybe I'm just lazy.

I'd agree with that, also means come resale time you've got a bumper and wings to recoup some cash.

Good point about resale. Nobody will want a butchered bumper.

ye good point, what size spacers would i need on my front wheels if i get the sport wings?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Depends if your lowering it as well.

 

[harribo66]

im already lowered on 35mm springs why would it make a difference?

I think he meant more along the lines on the size of your wheels dude.
Mines lowered 35mm, i've got 16" 172 wheels to go on, but i need spacers on mine too, cause they catch if not. :/
Not too sure on spacers though, i'd say 5 or 10 mm? don't quote me on that though.

 

[harribo66]

i have 17" wheels. so what would you sugest?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Might not need any at all, 5mm if that.

Looks sweet as it is tbh.

 

[DrewMcLovin]

Hmm.. Touché.
+ Very nice car.
If i'm honest pal, i'd either find out from someone who's done it.
Or just get sport wings and bumper and try it for yourself, and then worry about spacers after.
I think everyone will concentrate on the bumper rather than how far in your wheels are.
