Orranje GP wing in White just installed! (quite a few photos)

Hey everyone. Got my Orranje GP wing two days ago in the mail from the UK, and had it painted this morning.

First things:
install:
Very simple if you are comfortable drilling into cars. For a novice that shakes just taking off their intake I'd suggest a confident helping hand.

If drilling and cutting is your thing this is super easy and only took me 30 minutes!

second thing, but important:
The most PITA thing is removing the factory spoiler.
Removing the bolts is the easy part.
Difficulty comes in the adhesive that holds the factory spoiler on. It had a death grip on my car.

I quickly and easily circumvented this by taking some cotton kitchen twine (what is used to tie turkey/chicken legs together while roasting)
and using it to "slice" / saw the adhesive under the wing without taking it off, working around each end until the twine was to the bolt.
Wing came off with minimal/moderate force afterwards

Now on to pictarzzz!

There are a few as I couldn't find many in white, so I decided to populate the internet with some.
