View Full Version : Cost of rear wing on Astra SRi
The Sentinel
4th July 2004, 01:03 AM
When I picked up my SRi from the panel beaters on Friday, he said I might be interested to know what the (factory) rear wing was worth to replace......
$1000.
I $hit you not! I saw the paperwork for all the parts with my own two eyes!!!!
That's a crapload of money for a chunk of carbon fibre (I assume that is what it is made of).

Its Plastic.
or Polyurethene.
If it was Carbon fibre, Try $3000.

The other guy's insurance paid for it, so I don't really give a toss how much it cost, but why so much???

Because it adds so much power. ;)
The downforce easily justifies its price. ;)

I think this is a highly debateable topic ( :lol: ) but in my opinion it depends on the colour of your car,
so a sliver car goes faster with blue flames
a white car goes faster with red flames
and a black car well it doesnt go fast so no point putting flames on it..... :roll:
Oh I forgot
Burgundy is the fastest Astra out at the moment so there is no need to put flames on it as they would just peel straight off... :D :D :D

Ya right, Its sad. The SS and HSV Spoilers cost about $5 to make, and About $2 worth of Plastic and the rest is Blow Moulding Machine Running Cost per Part. :x
