Now optional as a combo with the twin grille front end is the Twinwing, available as a single one piece lower section or with 2 winglets to attach with alloy plates as shown, these plates are angled to kick air off to the side away from the air being forced forward from the top of the front tyres. Lower wing can be mounted on spacers for the snow plough look if desired.  |

What's the price on the wing? Can you show a picture unmounted?

Hi Stuart , any plans for this to be backwards compatible with the old front?

True, but please (as requested in the other thread!) can we have pictures of just the new nose from various angles, without the wing. It looked good in the only pic you showed but it's only half visible in this one.

Really like the front wing. Cheers Bob, it works too which is always a bonus! Cars tend to suffer with front lift and this wing cancelled that out in the wind tunnel. The most impressive part being the way it kicked the smoke away from the tyres. Wings tend to cause drag but in this case the drag increased without the wing as air then hits the front of the tyres. The screen was the most impressive experiment. Lowering drag and increasing front down force and keeping the air smooth on it's approach to the rear wing. I had expected them to refer to it as a spoiler as they did last time but it did offer some down force rather than just spoil air flow although it dragged a fair bit. The rear wing looks cool though so I am keeping it on, who cares if it slows me down a smidgeon  Below you can see the Bernoulli principle in action. Air has to travel faster under as opposed to over as it has further to travel thus causing lower pressure under. You can see the split air/smoke re joining at the end of it's travel around the wing.  |

Stuart - what was the source of the full coverage windshield in the top of the three pictures above? Actual build, or just conceptual?

I need the front wing. Because the car is mostly done and I'm running out of expensive things to buy and my bank account might recover if I'm not careful.
Hoping for US availability.

Is the screen custom made or the original ?
