I made a start on the cycle wings this evening. It took me all evening to drill 4 holes... I was a bit nervous about cocking it up.

The majority of (smart) advice seems to advocate bonding the cycle wings. However, I had over zealously put stoneguard on mine and I didn't want risk sanding it off and causing damage. I also prefer the idea of bolting rather than bonding.

The instructions are clear and I followed them very carefully. The cycle wings were supposed to come with markings for the bolt holes. However, this was not the case and I had to ask. I understand that the position is very important for the IVA. The front holes are 3 inches from the front*.

I drilled through tape to protect the gel coating. I found that using small pilot holes and then a fast speed for the bigger holes seemed to work well. I have covered the green repeater wire with 5mm heat shrink bought from ebay. (Edit - I have since found out the slow speeds are better for fibreglass - oops)

The wingstays require a bit of patience to get through (big 6mm holes).

I finished the right hand cycle wingstays this evening and made a start on the left. I'm pleased that it all lined up; this was the phase that I was slightly nervous about.

*NB Be wary of following my advice... The car has not been through the IVA yet.
