He i had some time this winter and decided to make one of those wing..it took
a lot of time but le final product is just great..it made out of lexan and it very strong..this is only the prototipe but the 1 one should be out neex week..the mold that i used need more work..Give me ure opinion ..on this ..

 

Very niiiiiice ! I see from your signature you are into some reverse engineering there

How close does it come to striking the OEM antenna when the hatch is up ?

 

It close but it dosent touch i will put picture this afternoon..

 

 

Nice work!!! Looks really good.

 

looks great

 

Looks great MC 2.. I used your template to make my front splitter..

I guess the dip/reverse ridge/roll or whatever you want to call it in the middle of the wing is to help with stability of it. ( Keep it from flopping around.)
Any idea how it does at speed. I've heard the OEM one has a whistle at speed..
Keep up the great work..

 

Well this is only the protipe and i din't have a chance to test drive it yet..but it should be ok ..the mold that i have use is not perfet i have to make a other one
it should be ready by next week....got to buy me some time somewere!!!!

Just made this yesterday..but all the mold are made and patent are ready to be cut out..





Will keep you posted on this..

 

Both look awesome. Nice work. I definitely want one

 

Mmmmm, just not feelin the scalloped side plates. Is the top wing close enough to the roof line ? Because of the inherent design of the hatchback in general, our Mini's have an upward spun turbulance from the lower bumper which may inhibit the performance you are looking for. As far back as it is, it could actually end up creating rear lift.

Two more things you may want to consider:

-Will this fly off the back of my car into a motorists windshield ? Manufacturers of auto accessories such as these are required to carry liability insurance for products they develope and market.

-Will wind tunnel testing help improve design/function before production ?

-Any copyright/patent infringements ?

While I encourage MINI ingenuity and the cottage industry as a whole, I would just proceed with these things in mind.

 

Wen something is under develoment these is alwais something and stuf that u have to test..testing the product before u procede production is the main thing
and no i wount put something on my mini that whould fall off ! i dont want to crach my Mini or get someone injuge on the road..If you look at my spliter it still there and have never had and isue whit it..and i cant cont whow many time i given the template to NAM member ...an by the way u realy would have to drive the car at 100 mph before you get and efect on this wing..

I thanks you for the advice and will post the testing and improvement of this wing soon
