Looks like it should do more...it's higher and has a more aggressive angle of attack. The lip at the back looks more purposeful too. I like it a lot...I wonder what we can get here? evil

How about adding some bigger end plates.

What little flow on the wing is near the tips and it falls off the ends.
Bigger end plates should help, a la Paul and the factory racecar.

Not so pretty though.

A big downside for me with, essentially, a road car.

£200 at Halfords I believe. And they're made out of carbon fibre. Apparently. hehe

Here's the mail back from "hooverchan" in the states.

I still have a little fabrication to do on the pedistal.
I can have another one in maybe one month.

I've never shipped overseas, and the box is oversized.
U.S. 1695.00. eek
I can contact a few shipping companies, but it will be atleast 225.00+USD.

Thanks,
Hoover

So that's me sitting firmly on the fence.
idea There's a grand I can put towards the OHLINS... Where I suspect there will be a little more driving enjoyment to be had!!
