Hi Y'all,

I was wondering if anyone here could help me with a possible issuse in fitting a 57" wide rear GT wing to my MX5 (as I intend on fitting a roll cage & hard top), the only thing being is the fact the car is about 53" wide, which mean the over hang will be about 2" either side....

Could I run into issues with the MOT or the law ?

Thanks Paul

please dont do it :( :( :( :ph43r:

5's should just be slammed, with a cage, 14 or 15 inch wheels with a stupidly low offset and more dish than the average sunday dinner can handle... Job done.. one badical mx B) B) B)

BGW's on 5's just dont look right :( But if you must, then a smaller VERY low level one.

By not doing it you save any issues with MOT's :D :D

Grey area i hear, i believe it can be down to the officer what happens. And by going by what police think of the boy racers they are more than likely gonna fist you, i am not saying that you are a boy racer but thats how the police look on anyone thatoqns a modified car.

Mine is within the width of the car, but agree with the others a gt wing is out of place on a MX, what I like personally on those is the 'duck tail' spoiler? i think im thinking straight?

Nice Justin :worship: :yes: :thumbsup:

The wing only looks good (kinda) on the track IMO.
But at the end of the day its your car and the question was 'is the legal' rather than do you like it!!!?? :D
