Default 968 bolt on wing(Updated), and pics of my s3
So after two years of having a fiberglass 968 wing sitting around, my dad decided for my 18th birthday we should finally put it on, but instead of gluing it straight on to the hatch we cut apart the old rubber wing and removed the metal inserts, did some cutting and epoxied them into the wing, although it was a lot of work the wing is bolted on and much stronger.
Here are some pics of the car with wing and painted CPR splitter












Here are a few more pics of the wing, if you have any more questions feel free to ask.


Here we had to cut a thin section out of the metal, for it to fit into the side piece

that car is gorgeous

but i really dont get the reasoning behind the 968 engine swap, too much work for 28hp imo...

and jetronic which = easier tuning when converting to forced induction/maf's oh and you get variocam which makes the area under the power curve a bit bigger while giving some of that 28 hp
