As the car had -25 negative trims before i changed the MAFs , injections and the filters now -14 negative trim could the oil be contaminated with fuel?? Causing the trims to remain negative still?
my spark plugs are 18k miles old could worn spark plugs cause negative trims?? I have no misfire or codes .

intake flaps
Overall this means ECU Lambda are respondive and in good shape.
I would check the intake plenum flaps are operational (not the throttle body). Use the scanner to actuate flaps for testing.

also i have noticed the car usually starts around -15ish LTFT and as the car warms up and i drive for about 10miles or so and the let the car idle for 10 to 15 mins the LTFT drop to -9 to - 10 I wound if the spark plugs have gone weak?? Or the oil is contaminated with fuel when the car had super negative -25 to -30 previously i have not changed the oil yet

the intake manifold has been replaced with a donor car, the flaps are working as they should be,

It sounds like the fuel map have been altered and now your ECU is leaning your mixture as a result.
I just saw this post that can help you reset the bugs out of your ECU. Let me find that post... here.

Engine oil and cold engine trim are unlikely related to your fuel trims issue.

Ill have a-look at the post thanks !
Its really weird why my car has negative trims its literally telling the ecu that its not getting enough air and too much fuel and ecu ia pulling 15% (-15) fuel its so weird …all other readings are in spec 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽
as as i said previously the car has never been tuned or modified in any way , its 100% stock .

Something is causing your ECU LEAN OUT...
Then re-tune your injectors for a chance to fix/improve engine response.

Each individual injector is adapted to its cylinder during installation. This is done using Xentry tool, I think some other scanner do that as well.
Thing is your lean condition started befored you shuffled injector parts, right?

do you know how to adapt injector to each cyliner? I will do it as my friend had xentry
yes the negative trims were present before i installed new injectors but that maybe was due to bad MAFs
