thats awesome, and a plus that you don't need a new glass for the hatch as well

That is a bad *** looking R56 Peter, very, very nice! The wing looks great!


Awesome stance to this car, it just sits perfect.

Are you going blackout or bodycolor the chrome around the tail lights?

Hey listen your not the only one, I had Porsche owners considering a second fun car when they saw the set-up.

Called them this morning, and they told me to take a hike....


Is it me or do I read a "Powered by Cosworth" on the boot?
Sure it does......

I'm assuming I would still have full range opening of the rear hatch?

Got a picture of it with the hatch open? does the whole wing move with the hatch?

There's no issues with the wing element hitting the antenna as you can see from my image. And yes the wing articulates with the hatch.

ahh so in order to get the wing you have to have the stubby antenna and not the OEM one right?

Yes, the stubby antenna would be needed in this case .

Don't get him started on the Clubman, please. Wait until he's done with the R53 stuff.

I have to agree with this....very nice stance indeed. Off topic, but do you know what the width and offset of the wheels are, Peter?

Spoiler looks great in those full pics (and that's coming from someone who usually doesn't like big spoilers)

The double aluminum wing, it sure brings back memories

7.5 x 17 / 42mm offset I believe

So how is this going to mount up for us R53 guys?
Could you make it so that it bolts in where the stock spoiler does?

I'm going to start a new thread this afternoon to showcase all our new
Aerodynamic products... see you there.


The R53 version will be done soon, and yes we are utilizing the stock mounting points IE. no need to replace the rear window, drilling holes in the hatch etc. The overall look design, weight and geometry will be retained.

The wing looks almost identical to the Challenge wing therefore I'm assuming it's functional as is the one on the Challenge car.
