i have an aftermarket wing on my ph2 19, drivers side one and u can see the difference in fit.
For example, the indicator unit does not line up properly and the bumper sits slightly lower than it should.
not too much of an issue thou as i have a spare wing from my scrapper 19 which is gonna replace it
the non reno wing was on the car when i bought it |

reason i need wings is when i bought the car the passenger side one had alrady been damaged..
a car had reversed into it and 'flattend' the arch along with some scratches which had been touched up
since i have had it the drives side has developed some sreious rust at the front where it meets the bumper and some right at the bottom near the skirt which has made its way up the black trim!! been using the reno touch up pen for a while but it just looks a bit shit now to be honest!!
