RobbiesZed Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Now, I like these wings. I know there are mixed opinions on wings blah blah blah but I'd like know whether it's worth getting... http://seiboncarbon.co.uk/carbon-fiber-universal-gt-wing-70-5-in-wide.html#!prettyPhoto this wing because it's half the price of an APR wing that's made for a 350z. But I prefer the APR... but cost wise, is it worth it? And are universal wings an easy fit? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Is it form or function your after, if your after looks any will suffice but if your after proven aero, apr. Not saying the others wont give aero but there is no data as per Apr, hence why they charge twice as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyZ Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The APR does look nicer also. Is it worth the extra cash? Only you can answer that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebedy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I ran a generic universay BGW that I bought off ebay a few years ago on another car. The one I bought was full carbon and quality was spot on. The legs you can buy seperately if you want to go higher and is a piece of wee to fit. Easy way is to mask off where the legs will sit onto the tailgate. Screw the bolts onto the legs and dab on some paint onto each bolt head. Get another guy to hold one end whilst you hold the other. Slowly lower the whole assemble onto the boot until its sits at the correct position. Once on, lift off. Do not move around. you are looking for 4 paint dots on the masking take. These then are your drilling points. Drill from top down, seal the holes with mastic, take off the maskin tape, offer the wing legs down and bolt from the underside. Done. easy. this is the wing I bought which they are still selling:--- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/57-3D-3DI-GT-JDM-Universal-Carbon-Fiber-Adjustable-Rear-Wing-Spoiler-New-TOP-/291523294092?hash=item43e024738c:g:XVoAAOSwLVZVs1Mk quality is great and are very light. Legs are alloy or forged aluminium. Make sure to add spread washers washers to the underside of the boot lid. Not for everyone the yanks love em.

Not saying the others wont give aero but there is no data as per Apr, hence why they charge twice as much. buy the cheaper one. Put on an APR Decal. Would people actually know the difference...................doubt it. A grand for a wing???? er....nooooooooo. A holiday.......er yes. Logic.

As i said, if you after form rather than function any wing will do, if your asking will my bgw actually give me significant aero benefits only the APR is tested. Slapping a bgw on a car in any old random position isnt going to help at all, height/position/wing size/angle etc is why APR is a grand because they have invested the time and money in r&d to give you a working wing Or buy one of these and find out http://www.rpmware.com/catalog/group/51582 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtimo Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Apr is best... I went with Megan as the wing shape is very good and built well. Easy to fit and under 50% Apr price. Load of pics in my build thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Like buying an MX5 and putting a Ferrari badge on it, you mean? What I'm saying is, if you took the Apr decal off the 900 quid genuine one, would you know what make it was and would you care??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the op does not say he needs to drift or race so we don't know his circumstance in wanting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So exactly as per my first post, does the op want form or function ; ) Stickering something up to pretend its something its not is a different subject entirely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
