Queue further round of Tesco ironing board quips!! :P

But seriously, other than TMS, the only one I have seen is this one:

I'd be surprised if there's not a Lotus Sport one but it would probably need some bespoke fittings. Ditto Hangar 111:

question is do you want one that look good or one that works? for the latter the only one I've seen proper test results for that I belive not just arse dyno on a MK roundabout is the Reverie ones, but they're not cheap.

The only ones worth having imo are the TMS one and the Colin Blower one.

IIRC this was due to GT race regs.

That one on the Blower car looks all wrong, way too low and not a profile that's likely to work well on a VX. I use a Reverie one, the profile designed by Simon McBeath, on the Europa and get 100% attached flow across it's full width thumbsup

Before you put a wing on the back, you really need to consider downforce on the front IMO. And I agree, the Colin Blower one looks completely ineffective as its nowhere near clean air. Bear in mind our cars have terribly poor aerodynamics (CD of 0.38 which is appaling by modern standards), the air going over the roof must be all over the place.

Vix's search police are out :unsure: :lol:

I did check, but the one I saw just degenerated intopeople taking the p*ss about wings....

Moto concept one looks vile.

The Blower one looks foul, and can never work so low down!!

Reverie looks very good, but are very expensive!

Don't much like the Hanger 111 offerings.

The Elise Parts one looks very nice, and is adjustable so will undoubtedly work too! Wonder if it stops the boot opening though....? Anybody got one??

MMG... Will look into it!


Any other wings out there....? I do like the Exige one Scuba was playing with, but I don't think it will work, so is a no go for me.

Also I understand the VX is light up front, and I should address that, but one thing at a time. I'm not understeering, so I'm happy with what's going on up there at the moment!

Cheers for the responses guys, keep em rolling in :)
