There is a guide in the stickies if you look in the styling section. You won't need to change your wings.

you need to just change the front and rear bumper side skirts front archs door trims and rear arch also the rear arch you need to cut some out and i think you'll need to drill holes for the pannels then you'll need the spoiler. you'll want to lower it as it'll look like it's on stilts then the vts wheels and the vts interior if you want to make it the same so quite alot of work

You can use just the wing/arch extensions on the front, by bonding them on or drilling holes to match the clips. I'd advise buying new wings though, from a VTR/S Westie/furio.. as just sticking the arch extensions on doesn't always fit very good and tend to catch on the door panels.

Rear arch needs cutting by about 2 inches from the top towards the rear.
The door panels and rear arches match up with the holes where the flat arch bump strips usually clip in to so you can use them, and also some Tiger seal along the bottom to hold it secure.

The sideskirts ideally need the sills drilling in order for the clips to fit, I bonded mine on though and haven't had any problems for a year, apart from one being pulled off by a fence. :D
Bumpers are a straight fit.

I tried doing this to my flat arch, I didnt get very far, was a pain in the ass, would look amazing when its done but for the hassel of it all I left it and bought a furio which has the kit standard

But yeah read the guide, not as easy as it sounds though, the bumpers are a piece of piss, and probably the side skirts, but the rear arches and front arches require drilling ect or like the guide says you could just tiger seal it all but would be best to do it properly.

Was painful having to do that, and ended up the arch didnt sit right and I made a right fuck up of it, did what the guide said ect but not guaranteed to 100% be correct with the drill holes which I found out
Rear bumper does this aswell if you dont do the rear arches:

But looked good with the front bumper (arch hanging off lol) (front bumper also sticks out at the side if you dont do the front arches, there are ways to pull if in but more hassle again)

It will take alot of effort to make the VTR/S kit fit properly.
