ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 01/01/06 10:59 AM Share Posted 01/01/06 10:59 AM I want to remove the wing off the F6 once it arrives, but I do not want a permemant removal until I know I can live with it.I would like some suggestions on the best way to accomplish this without too much expence or hassel.I also do not want this thread to turn into a "why remove the wing thread" as I do want to try, but may not like the results.What I was thinking of doing was to remove the wing and then plug the holes with the same little plugs they use to block the hooks on the utes when they get the hard covers. I am hoping they will be large enough to fill the holes and look ok. I will put a globe in the eye level brake light on the parcel shelf.Short of getting a pannel beater to fill and spray the boot, is there any other suggestions as to how to fill in the holes ? Do you think the tiedown plugs will do the job ?I may also look at the winglet from the DJR as another alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 01/01/06 11:05 AM Share Posted 01/01/06 11:05 AM They will do the job,but look like you took the rear wing off,and put plugs there insteadwhy not find a wingless owner and do a swap for a month or whatevervik...but get it in writing,cos he wont want to give it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 01/01/06 11:21 AM Share Posted 01/01/06 11:21 AM man trust me you will love the look..the plugs should be fine for short term.. then get the boost sprayed later on, or do a swap with someone who has a spoilerless boot.

All I did was went to Clark Rubber and got some rubber groments. Painted them in Blueprint and bob's your uncle. Thought that would be the best way until I decide what to do.Cheers Cowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd want a rubber grommet of some sort to go between though, even if you were to use the ute plug's. Edit: pipped by cowie on the grommet idea...

Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 01/01/06 01:07 PM Author Share Posted 01/01/06 01:07 PM Thanks guys, I just want to try it for a few weeks and if I like it I will get my mate who is a pannel beater to do it properly.I guess I am lucky as most grommets are black, so I will not need to paint them.

XRBloke Donating Members 1,219 Member For: 21y 7m 27d Posted 01/01/06 01:15 PM Share Posted 01/01/06 01:15 PM Theres a few issues here, firstly the holes are going to be alot bigger then the ute tray plugs, especially where the wire runs thru, the next issue is the car will not have a parcel shelf brake light so you will then need to replace the shelf to make it roadworth. Yes I know the earlier BAs came with the brake light, but the later ones just have carpet over the top so its going to be impossible to fit a light unless you replace the shelf. Personally with the big Typhoon kit I think it willl look stupid!, the XR gets away with it, perhaps your better off just getting a bobtail!

Guest newl Guests Posted 01/01/06 01:38 PM Share Posted 01/01/06 01:38 PM Yeah, even with a bobtail, he'd still have at least some down force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
