My new SuperDooper wing end plates

[Gadgeroonie]

I got these from Tux and he fitted them today at the car show

I think they look excellent and much better than the ones i had planned









Thanks Tux I am really pleased with them

[mgbond]

Nice, I got some on the way also . Did you use the std bolts to fit them?

Bondy

[jdearden]

did tux cover them also or are they actually carbon fibre

[Gadgeroonie]

they are carbon covered (same as rear wing)

supplied with some nice dome head bolts

[TuxMan]

They do look good in carbon wrap Gadge did you notice the extra downforce :-)

Bondy , stainless dome head bolts sent down with end plates .

How can I get my manky faded wing looking like yours? :'(

put a strip of carbon wrap over it or get it lacquered ?

Tux - actually it does feel a bit heavier on the back, or I was imagining it

(got some idea's for the new side scoops - might have a go at making some in the week)

Cheers Budd.

I'm going to get my wing colour coded and have the uprights (Thanks to Twirlie) and end plates black (Thanks to Tuxman).

Should look good with the Titanium and black look I'm going for. Fitting of Light covers is next and then the charge cooler that I have had for about a year. lol

How much for a set?

Imagining it. No way they're going to change the amount of downforce much, but they do look good

It's amusing everyone's trying to add more rear downforce with wing supports etc and all that's doing is making the overly rear aero balance even worse. It's the front that's the issue not the back.

i have done some work on the front already - these are mainly an improvement on the look of the original

quite pleased with them

Phil , to be honest i was sick at looking at the std end plates and as pointed out to me they are a poor design , my Aero friend is confident that along with raising the wing 40mm the will improve rear down force by how much who knows but its fun playing

already done as you suggested and filled in the front area :





another major advantage with raising the wing is the better rear ward visability ,i was very supprised how much better it was !!

any advice what to do next ?? got some spare alloy

[mgbond]

Yep, I have an Idea.....

Can you make me some of those front blocking plates

Bondy

[Gadgeroonie]

is raising the rear only 40 mm enough ?

would it not benefit from going higher ?

puts it level with roof line Gadge so we though it would be ok guess higher would be better :-)

I like this....can see i'am going to have a busy winter.

some more pics from SimonJW

[slipstream 1985]

im not keen tbh,nobles a swoopy lookig car and thats a bit angular however each to their own

[TuxMan]

No problems ,the base angle is the same as the clip angle so it runs inline and the top shape is the same as the wing but to be honest you draw it i'll make it :-)
