yeah done an fitment job that cam out sweet. Its not easy if you want a nice moulded finish. Took me ages.

You need to make sure the wing you buy is in very good condition. it pays in the long run. Its very hard to get the ripples out of the top dish bt.

Sikaflex it on with 2-3 self tappers to hold it tight.

once the sikaflex dries, remove the screws. use fiber glass to fill up and holes and joins and the filler to finish.

you gotta let it sit for ages or heat it up with a heat gun so you new fiberglass shrinks as much as it is going to. then body filler it and highfill it

up to you how long you spend rubbing it back.
