I saw a black NA on Saturday - there appeared to be quite a bit missing from it, e.g., turbo, horsepower, engine parts, interior parts and indeed a spoiler - think the owner is on the forum but not seen this car at meets - although i heard a rumor it's quite quick round corners though?

Interesting number plate B eighteen or something...???

Anyone here???

This bloke could do with your spoiler and any other performance mod's you can spare Alex i think.

note to howard - it was a optional extra in some cases so what is the difference between original fitment and not?

anyway,,,,how much you looking for really? oooOOO and to be cheeky how much was the fill holes in quote? i considered

doing it for a new look but was going to just put rubber in the holes so can have wing or no wing

It was never an optional extra. The Esprit V8 SE had it fitted from 1998 MY onwards and that was it. There was no option on the order form to spec up a V8 GT or a GT3 to have the wing fitted from the factory. It had to be this way or the customer buying the SE would little or no reason to spend the extra

Sorry - not strictly true. The Sport 350 wing I believe is functional - albeit only at high speeds but it is there to provide more stability. Also being carbon fibre it ways next to nothing so doesn't increase weight significantly.

This looks cool. Not chav at all and will obviously really increase roadholding (if you can get it to go over 30mph) and not forgetting the increased downforce issues.

WHY OH WHY?

i belive all the wings do something, yes at high speed, as my wing pushes down so much

it touches the body, and my rear hardly ever thoses grip,,, the front whoever is shocking lol.

and the bonus with a wing is you get remove it and put it back on at will, unlike a car without

one int the first place, admit it wingless ppl your all just jealous LOL

Can we please get back to topic, Alex is trying to sell his wing. If anyone wants to carry on the debate about wing vs no wing then please start a new thread.
