Custom Vented front wings

The aero kit front wings on my car were the second choice,a nightmare to fit but in fairness they looked pretty good.

But in fairness I always fancied these wings but was warned away by Chris @ Tarmac as the fitting/ fettling required was a nightmare and also made of fibreglass.

The seibon carbon fibre ones look amazing quality but just aren't as sharp or as long.

so I decided to bite the bullet and get my local body shop to make a custom metal pair.IMG_3251.JPG.ae33693e4e0a3c2d93735f75ee398c43.JPGIMG_0558.JPG.de95ad3238edb1f6b9cd1445e32901c2.JPGIMG_3256.JPG.d0f60d1f2c6058c0866b6eb16c1c22d4.JPGIMG_3276.JPG.2d213554093bef82f19cad421ff36db3.JPGIMG_3290.JPG.fb44c6a25656b204972174ef691fa0d1.JPGIMG_0162.JPG.ebee458a96922888fd2bfec0a26bdf4f.JPG

Love the dedication to the Z mate, did i remember you saying you were looking for an alternative to go play hillclimbs/track days in?

Thanks buddy. Yes after many years of sprints and hill climbs mixed with massive fun,heartache and lots of rear wheel spinning trying to keep up with the Evo guys the Pheonix is being put out to pasture. Shows,road trips and the occasional track day for her now. 

Already looking for a new competition project to keep me busy throughout the winter.

Shame they don't have a 2wd class down there. Zed v Germans are so much fun. 

 

What direction are you thinking? Old light hatchback, Caterham, single seat (:surrender:) ? 

Thinking road legal,light,tuneable and under under 2000cc.

Have you thought about  doing time attack? I think everyone here would agree you'd be a serious force in it 

Thanks Steve. I did consider this with the Z a couple of years ago but to be competitive you need deep pockets and again in the upper engine capacity it’s dominated by rally cars which I can’t warm to.
