there is another manufacturer that makes the same wing but without the top vent
Or they might be Charge Speed. Nik will know as it\'s his car :)

I assume the top vents are for show, as I cannot imagine what would be vented from the wing tops.
The side vents seem to replicate the single standard FD vent, but again unless the inner arch plastic is modified, I\'m not sure what purpose they have.
BUT, I doo like the design and if I\'m to have a full respray I think I may change the standard front wings, for this type.

There you go a link to some similar ones but dont appear to have top vents
Chris, Adam\'s right, they\'re Border Type II. Mine are FRP, but you can (or could) get carbon fibre ones if you had reeeeaaaallllllly deep pockets! Like you said, the arch liner cuts down how efficient the venting is, but a surprising amount of heat finds it\'s way through the louvres on the top, dunno how or where from. Conduction, maybe :3Confused.
Gonna swell Adam\'s head even more by saying he\'s right again :D, they\'re similar to the ChargeSpeed ones, which may prove easier to find nowadays. The main difference was they didn\'t have the louvres and the side repeater was mounted in one of the side scallops rather than between them.
Right *zips up anorak* that\'s my JDM spam for the day....surprised Kieron didn\'t beat me to it :Giggle

chargespeed do a copy with no vent in the top but im sure you can get ripoff ones cheap in the UK.

Could you not use a company like www coollouvres com and just get them done.

Many thanks for all your replies guys. Much appreciated.
Cannot afford/justify carbon wings, so its the cheaper option if I can find some.

By all accounts, vents in the top of wings add to downforce whilst reading a recent article on aerodynamic modifications........
Ill get my coat :wiggle
I have those in carbon , i think they cost about £700 from the US. They are still in the garage, ive only had them 12mths lol. The company is keycompositesgroup, i had the goods seven days after order. The quality is good but as i said not fitted yet
Goddamn! That rather trumps my crappy ol\' FRP ones then :eek: OOooooooh, we love a nice bit of carbon wingage, we do :yes....pics please...please? pleeeeeease?
will do some at the weekend.
