Chaps, did yours come with instructions? Mine just has 1 sheet of paper with a picture and the model name on it, and Scott's headed paper.
All the fixings are there certainly, and I'm sure it wouldn't be THAT hard to put it together, but you can never be too sure with these things.
Like build the wing first then put it on, or put the supports on first then the wing on top of it?

Just finished fitting it, Was a bit dissopointed that there was no Instructions, but I had to drill a couple of brackets to make fit, and I used double sided tape, to fit the big thick black things that sit flush with the boot which the metal stalks come out off, But got it fitted now and im well over the moon with it, even when fitted I couldnt stop smiling at how nice it made my WRX look. Will post pictures of it when it gets light.

So what was the best way to attack it then?
Old one off obviously, then mount the support struts + shrouds/bottoms over the top of them, then put the wing ontop of that?
I didn't get home with mine until about 8. Complete b*stard to get it and the splitter (which looks easy to fit) in the car. Then a big nasty rain cloud hanging over that suggested "leave it till tomorrow".

would say fit the struts first as ya need to mark and drill the furthest bracket (closest to the rear window) im sure by the sound of it scoobyboy fitted the same as me and just used 4 bolts as the others (as well as having to drill the boot lid 
) would be too awkward to get at. Think d/sided tape is probably best for fitting the covers down but will ask scott the best advise first ideally you will want a 12mm grommet for the B/light wire hole and i think i might even run some clear silicone round some parts to stop possible leaks...
will update once i know a bit more...

The plastic bases, there is usually some foam tape supplied with them to simply adhere them to the boot. I dont think there was any this time for some reason, unless all of them were in one box. Must admit I didnt notice any.
I can supply some double sided adhesive foam for everyone if need be.

Hmm, that might have been me that goat those pads. My spoiler box had the wing, the 2 plastic bases, the struts and bolts attached to some cardboard and then a bubble wrapped packet with some stuff other fixings in it.
When I get home I'll see how I'm fixed.
Think I'll attack the splitter first.

RIGHT. I've bolted the brackets onto the struts as per the photo (as far as I can see).
Am I right in saying the bracket nearest the window goes to the outside, and closes to the rear of the car goes to the inside? And that each bracket should be on with both Bolts?
If so then one of them just isn't going to lineup and I'll need to drill.
Any advance on that?
