Orranje G-Wing!

Just arrived from GB today. Great quality GP replica! Injected plastic sides are awesome quality and very strong. Install kit included the Riv-nut tool and everything.

you can find them on ebay uk. There's 1 or 2 on there now. Usually around $600 shipped to us.

Oh yes very! They even give you all the tools (other than an electric drill) to install it, including a riv-nut tool!

Mine came the other day--can't wait to mount it, but I have some engine work to do first.

I'm hoping to be able to mount it slightly lower than the wing on the GP; the wind tunnel testing on the R56 GP showed more downforce about an inch lower than where the wing is located on the R53 GP, I'm hoping there's some flexibility on mounting height.

There is. I went just a tad lower as well.

i like these wings a lot, i think this is the best looking one offered (looks like the GP wing).

I want one for my R56, yet it is a little more involved to install this wing on the R56's.

The spoiler looks ace. Sorry to jump onto your thread, but after after the sucess of our group buy for the Orranje GP style inserts on here:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...p-inserts.html

I wondered if you guys would be interested in a group buy for Orranje G-wings?

Details and lots of pics can be found here:
http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f754...06/index8.html

Let me know if there is any interest as we maybe able to do something on the price if we have enough orders. Currently we sell it at £405 delivered to the rest of the world.

Yep as per the fitting guide on the link above, its up to the buyer how high they mount it. The wing can slide up and down the boot lid when trying to work out how high you want to mount it before drilling the holes.
