Jesus Stot you are immensely creative and you've given me some more ideas of my own. Does anyone manufacture clam shell wings still as I want some now

Hi!
Equinox still manufactures clam shell front wings. Last item of this page: http://equinoxproducts.co.uk/product...ynes/roadster/ I have a full bodywork from them on my Roadster, and the quality of their work is excellent. Now, as it looks like you are aiming for a powerful Roadster, I guess you are looking for high performance, so be aware that clam shell wings are awful when it comes to aerodynamics. They are just acting like 2 big parachutes, and will add to the already bad aerodynamics of the car (like all "seven-like" cars, aerodynamics is not the best feature of our Roadsters). And I'm not even talking about fuel consumption... But they do look good and no problem on low/mid performance road cars in my humble opinion. Hope that will help

I have a pair of unused BRG clamshell wings made by Tiger if you want them. Scruffy from being stored but cheap :-)

Quick update. I still enjoy my car when its sunny. I got a 3D printer recently and designed/made some custom hubcaps.
 Cheers Stot

10 years on and it still needs tinkering. I did the head gasket, cam seals and water pump this week chasing a couple of leaks.
 Also the turbo burnt through my bonnet heat shielding, so a new method was needed short term...  Which actually worked amazingly well! But I have upgraded to a blanket.  Maybe see some of you at Malvern. Cheers Stot
