Yes 1 person can do it on their own. This was the 1st ever job I ever did on my 1st S40 with the help of a Haynes manual and it was quick and easy. I will try to get the Vadis instructions and post them here later on tonight.

Sorry for late reply but I had to reinstall Vadis. Here is what I found there about the wing. I think the instructions were a bit better on the Haynes manual but the pictures here are a bit better. Let me know if you have any trouble and you need more help
Attached are the two photos |

No you don't need to remove the front bumper. Why are you asking this? It is fairly straight forward and it looks harder in the instructions than it actually is. I did mine years ago and it was the first thing I have ever done to any car. once all the screws come off, the wing will just move out. If it not coming off, then you must have missed a screw or two. In my case I missed one (either F or G bolt) but I quickly realised and took it off too.

Is the process much different for ph2 and how important is the foam "seal"? Looks like mine is missing.
