Quote from: roborangefd3s;875592I can offer £350 for this due to the holes.

A wing should never be mounted to a CF or GRP hatch or even a steel hatch - due to the downforce pressure of the wing being absorbed by the panel gap/rubber seal - any hatch mounted wing is losing effectiveness for this reason and on a lightweight fibre hatch its an even worse idea as the wing can rip straight off at high speeds because the mount is not solid enough - the only exception to this would be if a hatch was kevlar reinforced (higher shear strength than CF) but even then you would still make the wing a redundant styling accessory by hatch mounting it and reducing the downforce affect on the cars body.
As this hatch is now cosmetically affected and I cant fit to my car with exposes holes (rain) I would need to paint or plastic dip it so therefore I can only offer 350 - at 600 I might as well get a brand new Seibon or other unblemished CF hatch.

This is why proper circuit cars all have a chassis mounted wing.

Please let me know if you accept this offer and how you want payment, thanks


Sorry, £350 is too low n i have lost out £250 just like that so can\'t do.

TBH i found the boot lid pretty heavy n thou to myself is this actually carbon!?!? unless am just weak haha….
I won\'t be going very high speeds etc with the bonnet and wing so its all good, am just in mind of thinking if its going to look right or not as not all cars suits carbon bootlids, the S2000 suits them very nice tho….
