I made one for my friend audi coupe

Weight about 2,5kg. Downforce depends from speed and angle ~3000N at 200km/h. It's not very dificult to make it. You can use radio controled model airplane or sailplane technologies and make it without molds.

Hmm. I guess I should have thought about this sooner. That wing is aggressive! I like it though.
I have had a few ideas running through my head since I read your post the other day. I will be sure to let you guys know when something comes together.

I will try to add some extra photos I have laying around on my computer. Maybe I'll do it today as I feel like crap and I'm not good for much else right now. I can't wait to see your pics of that build!
I ended up doing most of the work alone too. You find little tricks to help you out along the way. You know a tool or a brace or something to take the place of another persons hands.

i actually have acces to an e30 m3 parts car. Thats where i got the front fenders from. I can go anytime and take off the all the panels to make it look like an m3. i also have a hollowed out m3 trunk lid. The factory wing is too heavy. i can get a more aerodynamic and lighter wing if i am patient. Or if I make one The only reason i might not do the m3 trim is because it adds a little weight, but i imagine tha aero will be better and the front/ rear weight balance would be better with it. BMW had to do the m3 trim for a reason. You know!

I just have to find time to go and drill the spot weld off the car and install it on mine. i have all winter, but I like not having to work on the car every weekend, plus my girlfriend will kill me if i do another month long build of working on the car every free moment i get! I"ve got alot of things to take car of on the car this winter. if i have enought time before the start of next season, i will probably do the m3 conversion. It'll be bad AZZ!
