Once the matching Type R/S arches are used, the splitters, skirts and triangles attach with the standard 5-door poppers, clips and 10mm bolts. The full set must be used together: mixing Type R splitters with standard arches leaves a visible gap. A persistent gap of roughly 1.5 inches over about 4 inches remains at the rear door/skirt junction and is closed with rubber strip, fibreglass or vinyl. Minor screw-hole misalignment is normal because the 5-door inner liner is rounded where the 3-door arch is more triangular. The rear splitter needs 3-door exhaust triangles and reflectors, and the tailpipe may vibrate against the new triangles.
