Has anybody else had this problem with fitting these? I bought mine from HT Autos, they bolt on in the wheel arch and along the bottom but the top slots into the recess with just a sticky pad to hold it. When bolted on the top corner of the leading edge pulls away leaving a gap,I don't think the sticky pad supplied is thick or strong enough. I've tried leaving the rubber strip which has to be glued to the leading edge off and this helps a little, anybody else had this problem? Perhaps I should have bought Subaru one's, at £80 odd pounds to buy and £100 plus vat to get painted it's not cheap. Mick.

get some decent quick drying glue, does the job.
When thats dried if there is any visable gap , clear silicon will see to that.

Obviously I did the wrong thing,my HT Autos winglets have cost me about £200 altogether, the genuine one's would have been £152! As for the fitting, thanks for the advice. Someone said that Sikaflex adhesive would hold the top in, what a carry on, I'll think twice before buying a replica again. Cheers, Mick.

I got a pair of them of ebay for £100. Fitted well, and look good but I probably wouldnt have bothered with the amount of time messing about with them.


had to drill and paint them myself . In total cost about £120 with the paint that I had to get specially made, as you cant seem to get 22G red around here!
