Rear wings/arches....
 
I see on most 7 type cars that the rear wheels are totally enclosed by the big/wide arch... Is this for IVA??

Can you use smaller ones, like the front on the rear??

Anyone got any pics if they have done this??

I suspect it's largely because every other 7-alike has big fixed arches.
IVA-wise one issue might be getting the rear lights in the correct place.
I think (but I could be wrong) that the tail and indicators need to be mounted on the rear wings to get them close enough to the edge of the car, and that's going to be more difficult with small wings.
The big rear wings also hide all manner of stuff from the sharp edge/ radius rules.

Another thing to consider is that they stop all the crap that will be thrown from the tyres in to the car and over the passengers.

The fronts do a good job of that without any help...... throwing crap I mean;)

my own opinion but I think it would look rather ugly with cycle arches on the back :)

Have a look at the Toniq R as they have cycle wings on the rear.

For me personally, i thought about this idea before just to be different from the rest.

It can be done, just watch the light dimensions and angles etc.
