Big gay wings DIY

[Louis]

Who else on the forum has V6/Trophy spoilers? I'm looking at having a go at a DIY one as I'm fairly handy with fibreglass and we have endless supply of grey modelling foam in the workshops at uni. Looking at making something a bit larger than the usual v6 spoiler, maybe similar to that of a backyardspecial for civics. May not be to everyones taste, but just a fun project really to see how it'll turn out! Will mock up some drawings tomorrow, will probably mount the brake light low down rather than at the peak of the wing.

Some inspiration.

 

[Louis]

Will be butchering a standard mk2 ph2 spoiler as it has all the mounting holes present.

 

[imprezaworks]

Good effort but me personally not a fan

 

[Louis]

I'm looking to do something a bit different really! If it all goes pair shaped i'll buy one of the v6 3000 ones on ebay for £80 but as it stands this will be costing me nothing and is also a bit of fun.

Where are these £80 ones matey?

I am after another spoiler as per the photo of Russos vee.

 

[mossyv6]

And yes I would be very interested if you could make a v6 trophy spoiler as per photo number 1 (Russos car).

I was maybe a bit off with my pricings... http://www.madmotors.co.uk/carzone-renault-clio-mk2-v6-style-spoiler.html

To be honest i'll probably only mock up the one! I guess it could be used as a mould though depending on how substantial it is? Will see as i've not even started yet or got a plan. This will be done between uni work and that comes first.

Wonder if Liam's been curious and had a look in here yet?

Mistook the title for Big gay wangs?

 

[mossyv6]

I need this one back on my vee, lol.
If you want to go halves on it, you make the mould you need and then return the original to me unharmed.

@Louis'

 

[Louis]

Just going to see how far I can get with my own. Will have slightly different styling but be basically the same! I'll let you know if plans change and just go the route of moulding the spoiler though.

 

[mossyv6]

Yes let me know pal. I'm not in a rush as the vee won't be driven now until next summer, lol.

 

[Daz.]

They look w**k on v6's so a normal mk2 has no chance of making that look nice!
Mind you I think v6 spoilers look w**k on Trophy's!

Cup spoiler FTW.

 

[Louis]

Everyone has opinions you may be right and ill put my hands up. But that's only when it's done

 

[Louis]

Looking for ideas people may have to be honest! Maybe a different rear boot light from standard?

I'll do a couple of sketches later if you're struggling for ideas

 

[dann2707]

Waittttttttt a min, you're going *bigger* than the v6 spoiler? That's going to be huge! haha

I thought you meant bigger than the trophy spoiler like what I had

 

[Louis]

Naa, won't be bigger than those v6 spoilers, just maybe a slightly different styling to them so less square looking. Id meant larger than the trophy/stock v6 ones. The civic BYS are pretty cool but a lot more vertical

 

[Louis]

Quick photocrop, V6 spoiler made to be a little more vertical. Looks to be more the way i'm heading. Unsure on brake light situation at the minute.

 

[cs_dave]

Mate mate ......... mate




No

 

[Mr R.]

Clios are slow enough without that wing slowing them down even more.

 

[BGEarles]

Nah, he'll be taking off, f**king meooooowwwwnnn!

Ahaha, Maybe not then. Probably just do it similar to joe meekings car, but do something a little different with the brake light.

I'm actually after an ironing board to use whilst the car sits on my drive.

You'd just buy an ironing board, not create a replica of a spoiler.

That's the joke

At the end of the day, it's my car and other people have their opinions. I'm not going to go extreme with it, just want something a little bit unique.
It's a fun project, with my original spoiler to always just fit back on. Gets boring reading about people fitting turinis all the time.

 

[cs_dave]

OZ f1s ftw

 

[imprezaworks]

Can't be serious with that picture mate lol

Be the cheapest product ever to ruin a Clio 172/182 and cars within a 2 mile radius tbh.

But yeah in for the finished product. Not that please

Spotted a few threads on cooksports recently, spice things up? Step away from the wheel section. Unless your after inspiration on what colour turinis go with what colour car

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

I actually lol'd out loud when I saw that photoshop. Glad I clicked the thread now!

 

[dann2707]

If we were all the same the forum would be a big herd of sheep.

If I had listened to everyone's views about the stuff on my car it would be pretty f**king Boring. A perfect example is my bumper ties /catches. Everyone said it would look gay but then soon changed their minds when it was on.

I think the photoshop was to show the angle change, it won't be as huage as that.

 

[Louis]

As I said, I photoshopped that in literally 5 minutes. I didn't even change the size from the v6, I just rotated it around a tiny bit more. I'm not going to 'ruin' my car as if it looks f**king shite once finished, it just won't be fitted. I think you all have it in your minds im going to put an ironing board on the back which isn't the case. It'll be slightly larger than the trophy spoiler, less square than those v6 style spoilers with a different touch on the brake light.
I shouldn't have photoshopped anything as that's way too real, and gets the wrong idea into people's minds as they see something they don't like and stick with the opinion.
I'll do some sketching instead.

 

[cs_dave]

Crack on mate as you said if it looks plop just dont fit it.

Or do for giggles lol

 

[Daz.]

If you can make that active and use it as an airbrake then I'm all over it!

 

[Darren S]

Don't forget that unless you cut into the fabricated spoiler to allow for your aerial, the standard 182 boot struts will push the spoiler into it. To 'properly' do it - you'll need a pair of Trophy/V6 boot struts.

 

[Goodj]

all dat drag.

Will be done to hopefully avoid that, don't mind using BMW struts if I must.

 

[dann2707]

There's actually a pattern part of the trophy struts mega cheap somewhere
