Rear wing stone guards.
Anyone fitted stone guards to MK rear wings? If so did you make or buy? I like the W**tfield carbon fibre ones but not at the price they want!

Is there anything that man can't do!? When is he going to give up his job and just make 7 bits full time? Go on Mr Gibbons, you know it makes
sense!

Its pretty easy to make shiny stainless ones - cut to shape then spend hours polishing the stainless. Pop rivet on.
Looks pretty good.

Are there any 'plans/drawings' for these guards?
Cheers

Andy - dont think plans are needed, just cut them to make em fit the bottom section of your rear wing. Also depends if you have the wide or standard
rear wings too...

Buy a sheet of carbon and make them yourself, then use the left-overs for fancy touches elsewhere!

I wondered that too - I imagine frayed carbon fibre blowing in the wind?
Or does it cut cleanly with a router/dremel style thingy?

Apparently with fine toothed jigsaw (mask off the panel first though so u dont scratch it) and also with dremmel. Edges can be sanded too, cuts well
I've heard. I'll let you know!
