Given that Tux's are not simply a flat sheet of carbon, I don't see how that can be true, Tony.

Hardly a Piece if piss Tony especially if you have no experience !!!
buying a bit of flat sheet carbon and cutting out a wing end shape is pretty straight forward and because it's a one off for your own car quality is not an issue , making something that im proud to see on other Nobles is a whole different ball game and requires
a whole lot more effort and skill !!

I think if u see the attention to detail on anythng ive made in carbon or any other mod,u will see that its not just thrown together.without getting into hand bag swiping,reverie end plates are similar to mine,and all other alternatives out there.now when they did the aero mods,im quite shure they would have bent the ends to get a btr aero package!! They didnt, so that tells me a lot,and they also only raised the rear wing 50mm!! I guess they must know summit. bondy u can make quality end plates out of 2mm pre preg for under £100.tighten ur belt,dont get ur pants pulled down.!!

I like my Tux end plates for the look, if I wanted something flat I'd have stayed with the originals. Bugger knows if they do anything for the aero, but then rear end grip isn't something I particularly worry about in the M400 biggrin

When we did the aero testing we were told that unless the end plates extend all the way down they do very little and are cosmetic.

Ouch TonyVan that's a bit contradictory don't you think.

Seems ashame that any of us on here should be taking a cheap pop at things.

"we are all init together"

If some of us want to pay the money to whoever then that's our decision.

IMHO biggrin

Tony, have you ever bought any of Tux's products ?
They are always top quality & complete with all fixings etc, l think he makes minimal profit & personally l think it's great that someone who spends a lot of time & effort developing things is happy to share them with others who like me who don't have the contacts or just too lazy to do it for themslves.
Agree about the wing height though but as he say's it's down to personal preference so pay's your money & make you own choice.

end plates stop the air rolling off the end of the wing making it efficient through to the end of the spoiler itself... the stock ones are too small to work well IMHO... but once you get to a certain size its all down to design preference and they don't have to be huge.

I made my own to be different and yes it cost me less that £100 and I liked them... however lots of people have bought Tuxmans ones as they do look good and are different smile

In fact Im always amazed how many cars actually have his end plates on... seem to be everywere lol

i put my point of view across and thats the end of that. if you think my parts are made shodily, i suggest you take a look before you say anything as ive had nothing but positive feed back and im not into competing with others on here its been quoted that some prefer what ive done over tuxmans. i personally dont care what you do, i was stating that it is very easy to manufacture your own end plates to a hight quality with minimum skills.now the comment came back stating ive just basically bogged thing. sorry of that affects your potential sales!!!!!.
