Darkside Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Hi everyone, have just completed making a set of bespoke side fins and canards. It took me a while having to make formers and designing the right shapes etc and after a few months of perseverance, have completed the test fitting and is now ready for paint. The design is for the back part of the side just before the rear wheel going up to the wheel arch. The first picture is of the side fin in position So this shows position. This part is designed to be painted body colour. The following part is the canard, shown here on the bench. This part is designed to be black although it can be also painted to match the body (I just wanted the contrast). The following pictures show the fitting of the fins to the canards so you can see the shape. So there you have it, already for prep, paint and fitment. These are thermoformed in ABS plastic which is the same material as your bumpers so extremely hard wearing and impact resistant. So what do you reckon guys and girls, would it be that you like or dislike this and if I were to make more, would you be interested in purchasing? 1 Quote
Daisyduke Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 They are pretty cool. I would just be worried they weren't legal. 1 Quote
D12TEE Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 tbh, they look pretty cool.. Would be interesting to see how it sits against the shape of the body with it all together? 1 Quote
valy Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 I'd be interested in a set depending on the final look and price saves me time doing it 1 Quote

Also, when the build is complete, I'll post some pics of it all painted and on. Quote

Payco Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Looks like a well designed and made product which will look great on the right modded car. Credit for the design and engineering. Looks great. 1 Quote
