here is the truck version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f80a9jssUFU


there is a discussion about them at Noble forums - http://www.nobleforums.com/showthread.php?t=5794&a...


.................................................


i spoke to the company direct - they have has significant racing sucess with them and are talking to an F1 team. (people even fit them under bumpers and undertrays)

they are available in black, white and transparent, they come with a sticky adhesive plate and are fitted for the life of the vehicle. They can easily be sprayed with an aerosol can prior to fitting

their biggest market is the HGV market where they have seen improvements in mpg up to 16% due to reduced drag

at $2.75 USD they do seem to be a bit of a bargain !

i'm considering doing a group buy - anybody interested ?

a noble will need 10

Now arent you just taking the piss !

As for the mirrors, they're about 600 quid or so, and weeks to get ! Ask Adrian, I turned him onto them, and he has a pair on his Noble.

Yeh, where did the wing come from? The curved shape looks much more in keeping with the body than the standard wing.

The wing is a APR Performance "GTC500" model. Full CF and ultra light. They can be had in the UK, as there is one Noble owner whom I already referred to them and he purchased through a UK APR dealer.

Take a looksy here ;

This is also why I installed the Vortex Generators, to feed the center of the wing better with accelerated air velocities, and hopefully some more velocity for the intercooler intake. wink
