Hi all,
Just a general enquiry here to see if anyone knows of anybody doing fibreglass FG V8 Supercar replica rear wings? I've seen AU and BA/BF replica V8 Supercar rear wings being advertised, but no FG's. Might be a case of nobody having general access to one to take a mould? |

I think the V8 Wing looks great. But know if the wing would be Legal on a road car.

Get a normal GT wing, it's much nicer on the car

I know of one person (possibly an AFF member) who has the full kit on his FG as it was an ex SBR promo car that was Tim Slade's Lucky 7 rig. Other than that, I haven't seen any wings being advertised for sale as such.

V8 Supercar wings look FANTASTIC, on a V8 Supercar, not a road car IMHO.

That looks as bad as a HSV bodykit on a V6 commodore with hubcaps.

You can kiss goodbye to decent fuel economy dragging that thing around too.

Reminds me of a new at the time ED GLi that was ordered with Column Auto, 14" Wheels with Hubcaps and Tickford Body Kit. Looked kinda weird back then riding high on its stock Suspension.

The term 'shopping trolley' springs to mind, but i like it - only if there's big rubber/rims, lowered with a body kit - or it WILL look like a 180B with XU-1 stickers

Here's my car that I was wanting the FG wing for. It's currently got a Hawk style wing. I've seen a BA Supercar replica wing available for it, but the BA wing doesn't really suit the lines of the AU. Believe it or not, the FG wing looks much more aesthetically pleasing because the lines are more flowing and rounded like the AU body styling. I've got the full V8 Supercar front, rear bar and side skirts, and a Boss style bonnet on it. |

That looks sensational - well done, and I'm jealous!!!!
Very rare to see a proper AU V8SC front splitter Nice adoption of the early 2011 & Abu Dhabi DJR livery too...
