As there is a few guys on the site doing type r styling to their 5 door, decided to help out with a little how to.
in this thread i will tell you how to do all the kit
hope it helps
tools needed
flat head screwdriver
philips screw driver
10mm socket an ratchet
pliers
PATIENCE
APPROXIMATE TIME OF COMPLETION: 4-6 HOURS
so this is how it will look before you start
i decided to start from back to front
so lets begin
1. removing rear arches:
first remove star head screw from inner arch next to back door and one opposite
next remove 1 popper from underneath rear splitter the one that joins the arch to the splitter
then simply pull and the arch will come off dont be shy to be ruff to get it off
Do this for both sides
2. removing rear bumper:
first remove the 4 cap covers two each side
this will unveil 1 10mm bolt under each cap
undo these 4 bolts
next remove 8 poppers along the lower rear splitter
next remove 1 starhead screw each side of the car that was underneath the arch
now its a matter of giving the bumper a pull to get it off
**be careful if you have parking sensor this has to be diconnected**
if you have parking sensors simply disconnect
this should leave you with this
3. adding type r splitter your bumper:
first lay down a sheet for the bumper to lie on as you dont want to scratch it
next remove 2 10mm bolts that holds i one single triangle do this for both
next remove the poppers along the top of the splitter
next simply prise the bumper from the splitter there are little clips all the way along easy enough to just prise apart
the do the reverse to fit new splitter
you should be left with this
4. refitting rear bumper:
as stage 2 but in reverse
should be left with this
5. refitting rear arches:
first of all you will need to get these clips as the type r aches are different
take one clip and snip the top of the circle head till you can get smallest square possible
remove the 5th clip from the bottom and replace with new clip
as you can see from the pic the difference between clips
then just repeat stage 1 but in reverse
should be left with this
6. removing front arches:
first remove 3 starhead screws from the arch closest to the door
remove one popper just above they screws
just above that popper is another screw and popper above the tyre
next follow the arch under the bumper and u will find a rubber fin behind that there will be 2 poppers and a screw
then simply pull the arch off
repeat this process for the other side
7. replacing side skirts
you have already removed the front arches
firstly there is 3 poppers along the inside of the skirt next to the exhaust
next remove the star head screw next to the rear arch
now u are ready to remove
BE WARNED DO NOT PULL SKIRT FROM THE SIDE U WILL BREAK ALL CLIPS
go to the rear arch and pull the side skirt towards the back tyre it will come off but may need some pulling, you will be left with this
to get the white clips out twist and pull the put them on new skirt
u can just push the new skirt on now repeat for other side
beware u will be left with a gap at the back door this is normal
you will be left with this
8. removing front bumper:
firstly remove all the poppers on the panel under the bonnet
next remove 2 starhead screws one each side that was under the arch
next remove 4 poppers under the front splitter
now u should be able to completely remove the bumper by pulling and be left with this
do the same process as stage 3
then simply do the reverse to refit
now refit the front arches
JOB COMPLETE




you will be left with this
