Are you still running the head light washers? Anyone who would know about the ra flap would also know that the UK cars have front bumper mounted washer jets for the head lights.

Kind of defeats the object if you are trying to convince everyone that you have an ra.

Now forget the chav tastic mod and concentrate on handling/braking mods.

Roof vent is one of the best mods you can do.

Several how to do it threads on here if you search.

Fit it and enjoy it

You need to make sure you have the full kit as it's the kit that acts as the template to cut and fit the vent.

I can assure you he's not trying to fool anyone fella. Carls car is alot nicer and has a better spec than most on here and I hardly think it's a "chav tastic mod" either.

I wouldn't bother, just save your money and buy a proper RA

BUT it's your car and you can do what ever you like to it regardless of others opinions.

There's a difference between a fully functioning roof flap and a stick on roof vent. One looks good and certainly not chavtastic, the other looks ****.

i watched frayz fit mine and basically after removing the headlining you bolt the bracket to the car and use it as a template.
i know the classic bracket is slightly different but same principle applies.

Is it a proper flap though? The one being fitted, or the ones that look like a bonnet scoop?
