Would look awful but best place for a wing might be nearer the middle like the lotus esprit near the top of the flying buttresses.

Just phoned about that one. He's checking some measurement for me to see if it fits a VX. If it does, it's mine!

Hi,

Colin made the arches, he still has the moulds at Hinckley.

FYI the rear wing was made by Nitron.

Cheers

Will give you first refusal (before I paint it ) if I don't like the look of it on the car. I'm a fussy sod, so will let you know when I get it. It looks lovely though!! Seller reckons the original invoice from Lotus is over £500!!

Don't let VXJON see that picture or he will start going on about how good oval tailpipes look!

Just because EliseParts do a cheap replica, it bears no consequence to the pricing of an original component They ARE different!

Plus, that price is without any bracket to mount the thing. They charge £150 on top of that just for brackets, even if it's just clam mounted.

Yep it's true, but a good start to negotiate

Is the S1 wing going to be wide enough? When one was put on the back of mine to see how it would look it seemed far too narrow and looked a little odd. Was a long time ago though so memory may of lapsed a little since then!!

It's over 1.2m wide, so doesn't sound too small.... Will find out when it arrives I guess...

Is it Really worth it ? over the last few days this is a question that I have had rolling round my mind None of us compete seriously in our cars theres no prize money after falling off at cadwell I reckon driving training and hours on the track are the way to spend the hard earned The exige one I have in my garage is just a bit of fun looks only I think for the rear wing to work properly it needs to mounted quite high I'll get me coat

Fair one. You've got plenty of perspective given your 'incident'

It's a hobby though dude. I love chucking my VX around a track, and have seriously compromised my VX's road driving ability to make it as track specific as I can. Most of her miles these days are on track (or driving to one). I pay top dollar to get her properly serviced, and spare no penny on maintenance. That's how I like to spend MY hard earned.

I agree for optimum downforce height is a significant factor, but I also think the S1 Exige spoiler will offer a significant improvement in handling. That said if I don't like the look of it, it's not going on
