Is it not possible to get other rear wings in any other colour, and buy vinyl from a sign shop and cover?

I already have rear wings on my car but they are red and I want them to match my front carbon effect wings.
Applying a vinil on them may sound easy but in reallity every time I have tryed to apply vinils onto curved surface they look horrible! Is it any trick other wise I have to find ready ones.

It is possible but you need to use a weak soap solution (2 drops of soap in 1 litre of water) and a proper signmaker's squeegee (made of soft plastic) Also make sure you do it in a warm room. You basically have to gently stretch the vinyl around compound curves working with the squeegee, burnishing it down as you go.

I dont think that will work! not because the technique is wrong but because I am crap!
Does this linky do rear wings as well cause I can only find the front ones.
