i know this has prob been covered about 10000 times over. i want a big wing like chris and lee. but i dont know where to get one from? are they a generic one off ebay or is there a certain one to get? also does anyone have a picture of one fitted to a white vx220? also what do people do with the original turbo spoiler get rid of it or keep it on aswell. also where do they mount the spoiler too? as surely its pointless having it if its just mounted on to the clam?

Yes it will induce a bit of flex if just on the clam.. Would be better to have it running down and mounted to the subframe. I have seen one or two with a big wing and tubby spoiler although the majority of cars with big wings have them on without the tubby spoiler fitted. Eliseparts sell a big rear wing i think. Hope that helps

My eliseparts one cost a fortune! I have one the same cf one as Cliffies although will need the mounts moving and redesigning. Easily done with aliminium and rivets!

How about the Exige wing? I think it suits the VX more than the Exige it was designed for.

I'd concentrate on other areas like geo/suspension/brakes before bolting tat onto the car. You seem to know your stuff when it comes to the engines, would be good to see someone experiment with the under-body aero of the car to make a real difference.
