Looking for 120 ONO collection only unless you want to pay for a courier. In midlands weekends and salisbury during the week so can meet anywhere along the way.

No prizes for guessing what car that was originally fitted to.

No prizes for guessing where that came from

I'm turning into mr techie

Whoah. Spooky.

^very spooky you two^ haha With this wing, I take it it isn't just a bolt onto the clam job as surely it generates too much for just the clam to handle?

[ChrisS1]

That's what I'd assumed too....so for that reason, I'm oot.

No problem bolting onto the clam, I have been running the elise parts wing for some (time along with loads of other people) with no isues on the clams.

Mine is straight on to the clam, no issues.

will this benifit in any way or will it just add weight?

42 kg at 160 km/h I've heard mentioned. But that is when mounted on an Exige where the airflow will be different.

Here comes another debate.

I think it does work as lotus wouldnt bother otherwise. Your bodywork is MINT though, do you really want to start drilling holes in your clam? Id sought out some shocks and an ARB if i was you mate.

I wouldn't fancy it personally, I will be bracing the underside with sheet metal to spread the load more when I fit mine just to make extra sure it is not stressing the clam.

You will also need to cut down and fill the supports if you want to keep it from overlapping the lights and looking odd. Otherwise you will not have boot clearance. Fairly easilly done and since the buyer will no doubt be wanting a respray worth doing IMO.

Oh and as I mentioned on one of Lukes for sales before I don't mind acting as a go between and ferrying it further south if needs be and even fitting / mod help.

IME and that of some others it feels as though it makes a difference on fast long corners however, no, I dont have any wind tunnel results or equations which prove it.

but they designed it to work with the exige engine cover which causes much less disruption to the air reaching the spoiler.
On a vx it would need to be much higher and wider.

Are you around the weekend mate?

Can I come and have a look?

You can do but i am pretty certain it will be out of my hands before friday comes

[Hark]

No problem if it is. That's fate I guess. Still no car for me anyway.
