Some of the mid-engined kit cars have cycle wings on the back:

It would pass IVA fine, not sure it would look right though.

I would just be slightly concerned about stones and crap flying up and hitting elbows, its bad enough the amount of crap that flies up from the front wheels, and being sat so close to the rears in the roadster could it be a little dangerous?

i was thinking of something like the ariel atom look but have the wings a litle longer & the back lights could hover behind the wheels .i think that could look very good

Im considering the same ! Go with it see if it works if not get the originals

Bit i dont like is the way they lean down at the inner side

It will look horrible on a seven, the MK and Striker cars were designed that way so it suits them....that's my opinion anyway:)

I´ve been reading some threads on locost sweden & it looks like there are some others that are thinking of the same idea but i havent seen any photos of a seven with front wing on the back. since i´m making my own form i might as well give it a try & see how it looks , the best thing is that one form can be used for all the wheels. i hope i can post some pics in a week or 2.
cheers/samy
