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

I'd given you three other links first! No pleasing some people! :beat: :rolleyes:

You might try and find out what barrybethel had. I'm not sure if he made one himself or got it from The Wing Shop.

That does look very very nice!!!!! Have you noticed any effect from it?? I guess if the angle is adjustable it is impossible not to work!! How are the brackets fixed...? Have you got it fixed from the chassis??

Does the boot still open too?? How much clearance, as I'd have to keep the tubby spoiler on too, so would be further forwad on mine....

You got a link for that Lee??

Oh yeah, soz Vix, cheers for the links thumbsup

I'm changing my rear springs to try and eradicate it, but I'm seriously considering a wing to help with things!

Just won one on eBay for £31, will have a good gander when it arrives . Probably needs mounts modified but may do the job, will let you know. You will find the back end a lot more stable with the change in springs, I think yours are way too stiff and the difference between front and rear should ideally be no more than 50-75lbs for the stuff we do.

I Think it does work hard to tell it must as it is big enough and high enough.
The angle is adjustable
The brackets are fixed through the clam and i have only just made brackets to fix to the chassis havnt tested yet as car is in mid s/c conversion.
Boot still opens but if you moved it forewad to clear turbo spoiler might not.
I was thinking you could get other brackets made to clear turbo spoiler or do a quick release system and make turbo spoiler quick release and you could hide fixings for wing underneth

I'm considering an S1 Exige subframe mounted wing on the VX actually, should fit and look "right", much more than S2 stuff Or maybe a 2-11 one :closedeyes:

Not high on the list but have for a long time wanted to remove the one on mine and get a bigger (real) one on :P For me it was either the TMS, one fitted to the S1 exige tyre R conversion that comes to the waterman meet sometimes - think it is conrad? but out of the door of lotus :P and last would be the one fitted to Chris Europa. Prefer the straight lines and mounted futher back - this also stops acees to the boot issues (oe spoiler removed on mine) I would def want the spoiler going as far out to the sides as possible :wub: DG
