Thanks for all the comments, the carbon wings are a very good fitment, and cost a lot, I haven't seen another set for sale since.

Power wise, I'm hoping for somewhere near 500hp but I'll have to wait and see, just on building a new turbo manifold and full exhaust for it at the minute, I don't think what I have will be enough.

Did they actually save any weight? The stock wings are pretty light anyway so I'm just trying to work out if its worth changing them for carbon items for weight saving alone.

FibreGlass wings are a lot heavier, i can image carbon fibre will be close to stock... (Who knows.)

Being totally honest, there's not much in it. I think the main weight saving for me was not putting the mudflaps back on. I don't care anyway, I think they look better.
