Cycle Wings
Just added a picture to my archive of the new Cycle Wings fitted to a Westfield running 185/14's
The original flat bar under the wings was cut off leaving just a tab to bolt through the inside flange of the new wings.
Result is that the wings are now sitting closer to the tyre but with no flexing.

Thanks,
Matt

First of all can I say thank you for the interest.
The Front Wings are 210mm Wide and will if fitted correctly cover a tyre diameter of up to 576mm, so up to a 195-50-15 within the 30-50 Degree IVA
requirements. If there is enough interest I would certainly look it making a new mould for a longer version.
The Rear Wings are 290mm Wide and have an inner (mounting) edge of 820mm diameter and an outer edge diameter of 760mm.
The Front Wings are £150 a pair and the Rears in E Glass £185 and in Carbon (like the fronts) £250
Please keep in mind that these are produced using Resin Infusion, Core Materials and Epoxy Resin.
They are not 1 layer of Carbon backed up with Chopped Strand Matt and wet laid with Polyester Resin. ( as most are)
Google Resin Infusion and have a look at what is involved in the process  Resin Infusion is newer and more advanced than even Pre-Preg.
Any questions please ask.

Look good, impressed they don't flex when only bolted through the side like that.

Cheers. It has taken quite a bit of time to get the layup right 
I weigh 85 kilos and put one on the ground, as it would be fitted and I stood on it with my full weight no problem.
Yet they weigh in at less than 830 grms each

Are the ones in the picture bespoke to the Red car to match the car or are they all that colour? What sort of weight are the rears in carbon and e
glass? Whats e glass by the way?
I would be interested in a pair of front and rear especially if you are looking at an extended version I'm getting sick of getting hit by
everything so is either going to be extended arches or mudflaps!

The arches are available with the outer edges in the standard Gelcoat Colours Red, Black, White, Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue. Or if you have a Ral
number I may be able to match it?
Sorry can't remember the weight of the Rears off the top of my head will have to post that when I am back in work tomorrow.
E - Glass is a woven form of Glass Fibre. But unlike Chopped Strand Matt (CSM) it is woven into a cloth much like Carbon.
It is much stronger and stiffer than CSM.
As said I will look into a longer version if enough interest.

In response to the requests for a longer "wrap round" Wing we can now offer them with a diameter of 640mm and a height of 320mm. So these
will give a full 180 Degree coverage of tyres up to 205/50/15.
If rotated backwards they will stop stones etc flying into the cockpit and still easily cover the 30 Degree forward IVA requirements.
We will also be adding an optional side repeater "pod" for mounting the side repeaters on the wing edge if required, price to be announced
soon.
The moulds are now done so orders placed before the 23rd of this month will still be at the same £150 price as the shorter wing, after that they will
have to increase to £180.
The same manufacturing process will be used so they can be mounted in the same way (side mount)
