Default Upcoming Product: Gurney Flap

After some chat on another thread regarding a new gurney flap I have started working on a new project to design a better fitting one to supply in fibreglass and carbon.

Here is the original thread: https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...rney-flap.html

The gurney flap is this part, hope you dont mind me using your photo Moley_WRX



As you can see it falls short of each end by quite a gap so I have the task of making it flow better with the car.

After an hour of design work and cutting today I have a rough idea of what it will look like. Its still no where near done so please dont take this as the finished product I still need to get it shaped to the lines of the spoiler properly, this will give you an idea of what it will look like.





Let me know what you think and if you'd like to keep up to date with the project I'll post up progress here

Thanks
Ben

I done something similar using a chrysler 300c lip spoiler, universal type of ebay, it gives you enough length to trim n shape. Though one on fibre glass or carbon would be nice

No movement yet mate, I will be getting back onto it soon I have been trying to figure out make the flap rigid so we can mould from it. I think ive done that now so I'll crack on with the project and get back to you soon
