99 Spec Wing Install help required!

Hey!
Help required with installing an OEM 99 Spec Wing
  1. Which hardware/clips have to be used where I have marked with red circles on the picture.
  2. Any templates available for the wing? (closed the holes in my hatch now have to re-drill them)
  3. OEM part number of the 4 bolts to install the wing?

Those were just plastic clips. There's only 3 actual hardware peices that hold the wing on. 2 bolts on the outside and the one nut on the inside. You shouldn't need a template since the wing contours perfectly with the shape of the hatch. Measure the bolt location on the wing and then transfer the measurement to the hatch. It will be perfect.

On a local listing for an OEM new wing, these are the bolts pictured that come with it.

Thanks mate!
Do you know about which clips are supposed to be used on the remaining 2 mounting points?

can the wing be safely installed with 3 bolts instead of 4? I would rather not have to drill an extra hole into my R1 hatch if not needed

It can!
I had it installed with the 4 bolts and 2 nuts previously. I want it with the 4th clip or whatever that is because the wing will not sit flush with the trunk if it's missing that!

For example:

On both of my cars I have it installed without the clips. The only people that notice the 1 or 2mm gap is me..... the owner.
