if its painted.... then all u have to do is 4 screws.............. maybe some bungs as well lol

open your boot and u should see 2 holes on each side, if u got brake light on it there will be a little wire that u must disconnect first..

should take.... about 5mins.... prob better if u had some1 to help u hold the thing up whilst u doing the screws haha

er.... what mew said... i think

i managed easily enough with my mrs to swap my mid-level spoiler for a sti6 job. only hassle was the mid level had screws embedded in it, whereas the sti6 needed them screwing into it, so had to pop to homebase and buy some...

all in all 30 mins excluding trip to homebase

hi
the spoiler comes with drill locating guides which show you exactly where the new holes need to be drilled in the bootlid (no need for a tape mesure). Most bodyshops would charge approx 1hr labour to fit, should be able to find a good one via yell.com

Hope this helps

If you don't want to do it nip it down your local body shop and they will be happy to do it for a few quid cash.
