The M7 M-Wing

Peter and the crew at M7 continue to bring us more cool stuff for the R50 and R53.
Check it out... the M-Wing...




Super light-weight Carbon Fiber construction, properly placed to maximize
(and minimize) aerodynamic drag at zero inclination with the option to
add downforce (3 optional settings). Combined weight is less then 4 lbs.

No holes to drill or tap
--wing uses factory attachment points.

Price: $429.00

They have one had 3 but ones going on brads car and they sold the other one to someone at AMVIV. If you're going to do it this wing looks the best they had the Palo Uber and the fireball and the M7 at AMVIV and lined them all up and this is the only one that didn't make the car look like a cheap POS Honda. Was a fairly easy install after they got the old wing off.

I wonder if this wing will decrease the amount of dirt on the boot. This thing looks pretty sweet!

Is this functional? Aerodynamically?

I saw this on Randy's car a few months back, they told me they were still in the initial testing phase. Glad to see they've finally released it

I read the "Minimize Aerodynamic Drag" part, didn't see that it added downforce.

Thank's for the good word....
The first final M-Wing (not prototype) was installed at AMVIV, and there
was not many chances of taking cool images (to busy). I will have more
soon but as someone said right there (a woman) "yours is by far the best looking and most functional wing I seen".

One competetive unit has such severe initial angle that the unit will induce
a brick like wind resistance, and that's on it's lowest setting

PS. Our new website will come on line this week, with many surprises
and cool features.

I can bet that if you go fast enough with that "other unit", you can probably lift off the front end from the down force on the back... lol

I think that this is a very nice looking product, Peter. Good work and I can't wait to see the new products and more pictures of this wing on the MINI

Any more pictures of that Mini? I wonder how it integrates with the entire look.

Oh nevermind, I'll just look out the window...thats my Mini thats being used as a model. (Peter, you have my address, I'll be looking for the check)

Cudos to Steve at Custom Mini Shop for the install, thanks to Brad for letting us scavange bolts from your wing kit. Can't comment on the efictiveness of the wing at speed since I haven't been to the track yet and would NEVER break the speed limit on the street. It does look good though.

Yeah - need more pics from further back please...

Not that I can USE this on a cabrio, but that's the kind of wing I'd get if I had a tin top.

I like it but it looks too big from those angles, maybe a further back shot, one of the reasons i like the JCW is that its agressive but not too big that it looks Ricer.

The pics don't do the Wing justice. After watching the install and seeing it on, I can't wait for mine to be installed

Can't right now, I'm not back from AMVIV yet and laptop does not have tools to work RAW images that were shot. I'm having fun in SoCal and won't be back to Dallas till at least Sat.
