You can make your own mind up if it will suit your car:

I’ve had a look at my car, you may recall I have 295's at the back (which is what the car above also needs...) and have had to widen the
standard rear wings to suit. That has pushed their weight up to whopping 3kg each! Weigh your own ones and you'll see how much that really is
so cycle wings at the back make a lot off sense. I have popped a cycle wing on top of the tyre and it looks not too bad, different but not totally
hideous  there's the area around the top of the coilover that needs a bit of restyling but I like the fact that more of the tyre is exposed,
so I think this is the route I'm going to go. Pictures will soon follow so you can make fun of my bad taste

The toniq is a 7-a-like kit car with cycle winds all round, they're still attached to the body at the back though rather than the upright. Have
a google search for it. Looks a bit batman to me.

here's a pic off that car, not a bad style, Batman would certainly be proud, I wonder if it lights up at night
the torches totally spoil the car but I do like the way the wings curve in over the tyre though I'd only do that post SVA

I love the look of the Toniq except for the lights which look tacky imho.
The rear arches in the pic look very close to the tyres (which is obviously better for protection) but aren't they mounted from the upright
rather than the bodywork? Either that ot the suspension has only got an inch of movement
Cheers,

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

The good thing about rear cycle wings is they can be mounted on the wishbone instead of the upright as the rears don't turn !

With some decent work around the rear suspension this could look very nice and clean. It may make the back of the car loot smaller - a lot of
biolders have commented on the width/size of rear arches.
The purists would hate it though!
Give it a try
