Default RS Wing Wicker-Bill?

I thought I remember a supplier offering a small wicker bill for the CF RS wing. It attached to the trailing edge and looked to be 1/4 to 1/2" wide. I'd like a bit more down force without tipping the whole wing. And I think the wicker bill doesn't add to drag to the car as changing the wing angle would do. Anyone have a clue as to who might supply such an animal? Tnx

Is this the same as a Gurney flap? I think cargraphic offer one.

Not sure why you'd want more rear downforce without doing something about the front first?

Cargraphic has such an item listed as a Gurney Flap. I think its finished in the faux carbon.

Cup car splitter for the front and this item for the back. I think (imho) this is a better match than a gross wing angle change.

A rose by any other name........wicker bill , gurney flap, guess that's what I'm looking for. I'll check out cargraphic. Thanks

...in the States we can it a Gurney Lip, thanks Dan Gurney. If it must look pretty, sourcing a carbon fiber one would look great. Otherwise, for race car quality, use aluminum angle bar and epoxy.


Now a Gurney Bubble...that's a completely different animal.
