The rear lip spoiler is standard here something to do with fuel economy, ROTFL.

When I get my replica MS wing in Dazy we can look at it, before I take it to the Body shop, and that might help you descide a little.

I've already decided that I want it, but I'm unsure how it will work to fit. I guess your wing will determine whether or not it's something I can install or ask Martin to do for me.

1 of the new holes was very close to 1 of the factory holes.

I used a round file to expand the small hole I drilled.
So, I was left with the factory hole with another hole connected to it.

If you open the trunk and look at the under side of the lower wing portion, do you see any white?
I tried the factory holes but the lower spoiler hung off the back.
With the new holes, the small lip that hangs off the lower spoiler was flush up against the rear of the trunk. (per the instructions)
When I look, I cannot see white. (adhesive strips)

If anyone wants the trunk templates to see the holes, let me know.
I will scan and email.

Have you tried posting in the "for sale/wanted" thread, or in a region forum closer to home....? You may have more luck there.
