garbino spoiler

I can safely say "The Areo Wing" looks nothing like that.
That looks, to me, like someone added CF and vortex generators to a Cooper spoiler.

Might have a few teaser photos up on this thread, just before we head off to the Dragon. For those of you who will not make that event. I have a few minor things to do before photo's are to debut.

Guys,
I understand the need for not wanting to reveal until it is completley done, however this is nto what you did with the Ram intake and look how much response you got from that. Is there anyway that you can just show us what it looks like so far. We understand that there is still work that needs to be done but would like to at least have a visual understanding of what this will look like or how it will function.
Thanks

Funny you guys brought this up...I was just outside with Joel making a template for the wicker-bill. We ran into some unexpected warping and last minute surface tuning but it now looks SIK It's mounted on his MINI but I don't think Joel wants to reveal it until the wicker-bill in on the wing...sorry...

As for what it looks like, there's no mystery...as I mentioned in the first post, it is very similar to the Mini Aero wing (the one without the hole like I have) but has more attitude and extends further back nearly two inches. The back edge is flat to which an adjustable wicker-bill is mounted with 5-7 bolts. This wicker-bill is designed to be replaced with different sizes that extend lower or higher into the air stream depending on the down force required...

And it drives gooooooood, too.





Seriously, we'll get some photos up maybe next week - before we head out to the Dragon, after I do the wicker-bill.

I'll be at the dragon taking an extra close look. Only thing is i can see this being $300+ maybe even $400+ since i think you said it'll be CF and the regular Aero Wing is about $250...

Though i do have $300 left to spend on the car.... ahhhh decisions.
