LOL.... erm it was on the, erm, hmm cant remember now ;) :p

dandan

your mounts have four cutout holes in a vertical line on them, mine only have 3 so mine will sit a good 2 inches lower than yours, if yours doesn\'t fly off, mine should be fine!
the erm, er, hmm private road eh? i know that one well, i goes right past my house lol!

Interloper i got it from the JAE show at a super duper special price of 320 of your finest english pounds.
It was available on //www.alsjunkyard.com but the site seems to have been shut down the last couple of days? not sure what thats about. the site price was 450 i think. but i am thinking of making GRP copies to sell much much cheaper, would this interest you at all?

interloper393

yep i would be very interested lol.. not bothered about the weight issues, as long as it looks the doggys dangly bits :)

Well it obviously wouldnt have the carbon fibre look but you could paint it body colour or black or anything really. My GRP man is on holiday at the moment so it will be a few weeks before anything is made but ill keep you informed

Defo the Gt wing you have there Dan, think its the shorter version to mine though.... mine is very high though, sits inline with the roof but its very functional, think it slows you down a bit though, might unbolt it next time the car goes up santa pod ;) lol

thats a brilliant idea, what your addre--  Hang on a minute, thats exactly what i\'m planning to do! (As soon as the rebuild is finished) lol!
No deal Mr Interloper, although i\'m sure we could discuss a MRC member discount... lol!

Quote from: paultakataLook at this pic borrowed from Rotary Import\'s site:

There are wires holding the spoiler (sorry, wing  ;) ) to the middle of the bootlid. That would definitely stop it flying off! Maybe worth considering if you generally drive on "private test facilities"? :burnout

What make/model is your wing mate? I have the same one and I\'m forever getting asked "what is it?"... "ermm... dunno mate, it came with the car when I bought it   :(   "
