In conjunction with fordygti I am looking to get 5 people minimum for a group buy for front wings in fiberglass. Currently he doesn't have a mold for making them, hence the initial minimum number required to assist in the costs involved with making the molds etc. I am buying at least 1 set, so need 4 more people to join in so I can get mine!

Cost as long as we get 5 is £110 delivered/set which quite frankly is a bargain. I am looking to get this done asap, so those with genuine, cash waiting interest please put your names down below, once 5 people are on we will require up front payment.

Come on peeps, this is cheap as chipsNinja

Cool

I'd be up for it in carbon, but I just cant see the point of FG items when they are replacing a part that's so light already. Pattern wings from a factor will almost be as light and easy to beat around if damaged.

I dont understand why you would get carbon wings because they are a lot more expensive and not much different in weight than the FG ones... Unless you have more money than sense Confused

Carbon is half the weight of FG, that would be the reason. FG is not particularly strong so you need more of it to hold its shape and not fall apart. On the smaller stuf that is light anyway you won't see much benefit unless you use something really light.

Jim is right Carbon is lighter and would be more resilient to minor knocks/bumps. but I'm sure that the fibreglass ones are worthy until possibly we get someone to knock up carbon ones. at this price I'm just experimenting!

Right, after weighing up all the metal bits from my door today, and then weighing a standard wing at 2.7kg, I am now in agreement with Jim that the weight saving wouldn't be enough. I don't think you would save more than a kilo which wouldn't justify the cost, so sorry, I'm out!
