Hi does anyone know if the 2018 RRS side vents can be fitted to previous models? Have a 2017 model but quite like the new vents although they look a little wider so not sure if they will fit.

No, they don’t fit as the wings are different and the shape/size of the new „fake“ vents are now different.
Check yourself pictures, pre facelift vent starts direct under the hood and the new ones are not touching the hood.
