Do you need a shark fin style antenna for the radio or something? cause the wing will bend the antenna no?

Maybe you should have become a vendor. You know the more I look at your pictures, I think you just put a real GP wing on your car to drum up business. Then I bet you made a mold of the real thing. Thats why you say the first one has the carbon fiber center piece and the rest will be fiberglass. Plus you never show'd a picture of the mounting. I could be wrong, but I just bet the wing on your car is off a GP.

Gee!!!!!!!!!! I'm hurt. I guess if you were a real business and a vendor then you could sell your parts. Sorry!!!!!! Theres to many legit business' here that pay their way.

OH, by the way. I know what a GP wing looks like.

I own one.

Who's everyone??? I've been looking for a GP Wing for 2 years and this is the only lead I've come across. Are the other 20 made of fiberglass going to mount the same way as this wing or will I be missing out on production run?

Sorry for all the questions, but I am really interested just not convinced yet.

t955132, as you have been told privately, you can NOT advertise or perform market research regarding your product without a vendor agreement in place. All of your posts on this topic have been removed until this occurs.

As a lover of the GP wing I saved a couple pics. I would like to see some close up's of the glass model.

I feel like my last two posts were deleted. And one of them was actually useful.


Mods, if you could please put them back for me that would be great.

I don't know much beyond the basics and some tire kicking, but I have a past issue of Modern MINI featuring a UK R53 that was done at Lohen that had a GP wing fitted without the proper slotted glass window. Here is a page from the article with a clear shot, incorporating the R52 brake light [looks pretty solid if you ask me and he tracks his car as well].
Maybe ask one of the techs there directly

I tried to find him in the UK forums. His car is **** all the way through but I would expect that he just had someone else figure it out. Most of his mods are from Lohen or GTT so I'd ask there. The Porsche bbk conversion is bananas.

Two things I don't like about the M7 wing is the plastic look (in photos) and the screw and screw holes on the side. The other guys wing is imho much closer to the GP style. Granted I've never seen either in person.

The wing in the last pic has different side mounts than what's shown on M7's site. T955152's wing looks more rounded and finished and not so ricerish if there is such a word. I haven't seen the guy post anything else on this so it's just vapor ware.

Putterfarm,

Does that mean you have a product similar to the GP wing coming soon?

To all our customers and friends we made at the Dragon "Thank You", we had a great time

Hi Mark,

I'm looking forward to hearing more about your products. Are the rear diffusers for an R53 or 56. And I like the front splitter. Will you be doing any in CF?

Longboard

Talking with Joel from G4 you'll have to move the battery for the diffuser. They have someone doing a straight exhaust for the R53. Some real neat stuff on the way.
