V3 GP Wing Installation Guide
First of all, I would like to thank you for your support.
Before you proceed, please read through this step-‐by-‐step guide carefully.
We are not responsible for any type of damage to your vehicle from this installation. The process is very simple and straightforward. If you are not comfortable performing it, please take it to your local professionals.
We recommend you test fitting first before painting.
Parts checklist: . 1) 3-‐piece GP Wing (2 sides and 1 center)
. 2) 1x bag of screws
4x long screws,
4x long screws (self tapping)
2x short screws
. 3) 2x metal brackets
. 4) 2x shark fin covers
Required Tools/Parts: . 1) Rotary drill
. 2) Screwdrivers
. 3) Blue tape
. 4) Small spacers (can be found in any hardware store)
. 5) Adhesive foams tape/Sponge window seal (can be found in any hardware store)
Helpful Tips: . 1) We recommend having 2 to 3 people for this installation job.
. 2) We provide two types of screws for the attachment between the side wing and the hatch. One is self-‐tapping, and one is not. With different model and year, the structures of the hatch varied. Please choose the either type accordingly. Again you only need one type of the screws.
. 3) We strongly suggest you test fitting the spoiler first before taking it to the paint shop. All these spoilers have been tested and proven to fit on R53 and R56 MINIs. However, no two cars have the same measurement for hatch door gap. Some might have slightly tighter fit than the others. Please test fit it on your car first before you paint the parts.
The Step-‐By-‐Step Installation
1. TEST IT 1. Try each side of the wing on the hatch separately to see if the hatch closes without touching anything.
2. After trying on both sides on and making sure that they fit, put both sides on at the same time and then bolt the center blade on. (you’ll need someone else to help you hold it while performing this step)
3. After bolting on the center blade and making sure they are secured, now you may close the hatch. You may need to adjust the angle of the spoiler. The vertical portion of the side wings should be parallel to each other.
4. If all goes well, you now have a ready to paint GP Wing.
2. PAINT IT/ VINYL WRAP IT/ PLASTI-‐DIP IT
3. MOUNT IT
1. You should now have a set of painted/wrapped spoiler. 2. Blue tape the edges and mounting surface to protect the
paint before you start the installation because you are likely to scratch the paint if you don’t mask it.
3. Remove the plastic trims from the inside of your hatch. You will have to remove some screws before you pull it out with some force. Make sure no screws are attached when you pull it.
4. Detach the plugs and pull the wires away so that you don’t
damage them from drilling later on.
5. Use blue tape to protect your hatch and mark the desired
drilling spot.
6. Drill two small holes through the hatch on the marked spots
and then assemble the GP Wing on the hatch. So now you have a freely moving GP Wing sliding up and down on your hatch.
7. With the help from another person, while one holds the
entire assembled GP Wing, the other one prepares to drive the screws in.
