Spotted a Blue PD with NICE rear wing on it today. 
Car also had "P" plates on it, pretty sure it was a SR as well . Around Narellen area.
Going opposite ways when I saw it, will keep eyes open for it and follow and have a chat & a pic.
Fingers  crossed. .

The PD has a bit of a spoiler built in. When you say a wing, is it mounted above the hatch or sticks out the back further? Is it body coloured or black (did you notice) 

[mickd]

Hi Dazz,
Yes a wing, sitting over the top and wider than the factory one and projecting out about 250mm more. Gloss black. Hope to see it again soon . Potential new member.

I will definitely be interested in seeing some pictures if you see it again, @mickd

[mickd]

I'll track it down sooner than later I hope.
Nice wing Gonz, looks like it could be used as a seat  👍

Wonder if it will fit our GD ??

[mickd]

Found it ! !   
PD SR i30.
Not 250 mm, more like 175 -200.
Left a note saying there is much interest, free to join, great group.
Sits over the top of factory unit.

That looks great. I wonder if it would fit a GD ?

Mind reader

[Pommie5037]

it's looking pretty good , I may have to do some more research into exterior mods for my PD

Thanks for the PM letting me know the pics were up too mickd

[Dazzler]

Thanks Mick, I'm not sure what I think of it to be honest. Must be the old fogie coming out in me!

   I think with a spacer at the rear to kick it up a bit it would look better,  but, its different.
Hopefully owner joins and can provide more info 

[CraigB]

I think it looks ridiculous    if it was replacing the factory one it would look more OEM but sticking out like that really looks cheap and tacky, not to mention the drag it would create

[mickd]

I'm sure people will love it, or, hate it, or maybe a bit of both   
Even though its black, it caught me eye at 80khm in opposite directions.
I've seen worse on the back of commodores & falcons as well as lancers, wrx's etc over the years.

Drag  ?! ?!
Im sure it will be the cause of many a "drag ", isn't that the purpose  ? 

[CraigB]

Yeah some of the wings that get attached really make you wonder what they were thinking I can remember some of the one's they released for the GD

Thanks Craig but on second thoughts I do like the look of my GD as is. Thanks for the link I must admit looking at that angle of the wing, it definitely looks like an add on, not keen on that look.

No problem , I'd seen them before somewhere but it took me some time to find them again.

Some might wish to go all out

A couple of workshop vices, a plank of wood and a can of spray paint and I could do that!

that look's ok on the pd.
can you remember when everyone liked those on front window to stop sun on there lap, now windows go back more and never see them. a lot of heat comes into the car via the windows. the air conditioner works really hard here in Australia on a hot day with euro designed cars.

Yep, remember them well. Had a metal grill type on my HJ Holden station waggon.  The HJ was my first car when arriving as a 10 pound pom in 1969, no air con then, thought the HJ was the best thing since sliced bread.

Did they have sliced bread in 1969?  I wasn't very old then...

Me neither! I was 13 y/o  It must have been, because I used to hide my sandwiches in a hedge near the school and buy a pie from the canteen..
