Bloody typical! Everyone\'s been writing in to say "my spoiler has been fine at high speeds" etc. etc. so I have to go and be the exception to the rule... this is the result (see pics below) of a recent test to find out what the top speed of my car is (146mph so far).

I should mention though that the suspension on my car is hard as nails. The chassis takes a lot of abuse (vibration/shocks) as a consequence.

OH no! Happened to my old R-Magic spoiler, like you say it\'s mainly down to the constant abuse of hard suspension over time - then the final straw of huge gusts of air!

It can be fixed though being fiberglass!

[interloper393]

Thats not goot... mines got rock hard suspension hope mine dosnt go ..

[maximtaylor]

No spoiler should fail like that, I\'m shocked tbh!

I wonder if R-Magic are aware of the design fault?

[interloper393]

Hey dandan any updates on this spoiler your making me

[dandan]

Yes interloper, the update is as follows:
No progress. My grp man is at his holiday home in spain for a few weeks, (they must rake it in!) so I can\'t do much yet, have to see if he can do anything with it, but i have the machined sections organised which is a start.

Hi Jon

I have the same spoiler RE-A GT but with the wires & the car has seen a higher indicated speed than yours on a track with no problems & I aslo have rock hard ohlins, maybe the wires make all the difference?

[NixRX7]

hmmm will have to check my spoiler as i have the REA GT wing same as you Mr Blair but your pics look like your side stanchions are fibreglass, i am sure mine is all Alloy, will check tomorrow.

I also noticed yours is fitted further into the boot lid than mine is, if you check the pic of the other red rx you will see it also hangs over the back of the boot lid and over the rear lights slightly the same as mine does.

I have had mine off and there is no way it could be fitted further back onto the boot because of the bolts in the wing itself are placed such that you can only put it in one place as the boot lid is double skinned and the only single skinned place is near the outer edge, so the spoiler will always pretrude slightly.

Are you sure yours is a genuine RE-A one ?

[TonyBlair]

.... look like your side stanchions are fibreglass, i am sure mine is all Alloy, will check tomorrow.

....Are you sure yours is a genuine RE-A one ?

Cheers for the info mate. The stanchions on my spoiler are made of fiberglass - not alloy. I don\'t know whether it\'s a genuine RE-A spoiler or not - it came with the car when I bought it. If all genuine RE-A spoilers are alloy, then I guess mines not a RE-A.

Either way I don\'t think I\'ll be buying a fibreglass spoiler to replace my current one. I know I could repair my current spoiler, but I think carbon-fibre or alloy would be the best way to go.

Cheers
Jon

My rear wing is a GT Carbon one looks like your pic. On the brunters track 163mph no probs at all, it also works. Downforce etc. :wave

[NixRX7]

Not saying its deffo not an RE-A one, it could be, i\'ll check mine and report back
