most of the clips and studs that match will match up with the holes on the spoiler..if your car was originally supplied with mt2 it should have the holes already if not you need to carefully mark and drill the holes on the correct place on the front valance and then go from there...others will match the clips holes on the bottom of your valance thats the first step so you know it fits right and you can still fit the bumper etc

The rubber bits push into the back of the valance to surround the foglights, and the front middle vent cut outs.

The small plastic clips push up from the bottom of the valance into the bass of the car valance.

The white plastic clips locate along the top of the mtech valance and to attatch them to the car you will need to remove the upper bumper.

The two metal 'u' shaped bits go either side of the valance, and are bolted from the inside of the front car valance. You will need to turn the front wheels to reach them.

The rubber seals just push into the grooves on the back of the the valance, where the air intakes are for the oil cooler. If your getting confused with the long strip above the valance that is just a drilling jig to make you drill the holes in the right place for the black plastic clips that hold the top edge on. the rubber seals are on the diagram above the drilling jig
