   tut tut luke someone like u should know to search by now, as said it can be done but you have to weld the small ball bracket onto the inside of the engine bay near the wing/strut top. a few people have done it but some of them have said that the wings flex abit and sometimes look like there gona bukle when having them on

   They dont mount to the wings, they mount to the strut tops. You need to drill the 3 spot welds out on the brackets to remove them. Then weld them to your car. A lot of work really.
