Thanks, will have to take outsome of the plastic trims inside though (pillars and roof). Will also add a roll cage and belts when possible !

Finally done with the wing. All in all the new wing + monts + steel reinforcing of the trunk lid has about the same weight as the OEM plastic add-on to the trunk lid. The setting on the pics below has about 12-14 AOA (relative to the air direction wich already makes about 3.7deg to the horisontal plane). This is about the max downforce setting with this wing. Any more than this and stall occurs. Relative to the end of the lid it is installed 15-16cm away on the horisontal axis in the middle, 18-20cm on the horisontal axis on the sides and 9cm away on the vertical axis.

This wing may even work better than most of pro racing cars that are limited in their
position by regulations.

Max possible angle of attack is hard to plan out in advance. There are some options
for testing you will have read from. Wool strings on the wing, oil or shower gel traces,
zip ties on the rear struts and so on. Poor man's wind channel procedure.

Did you disable the ''thank you'' button? :laugh:
