ECR Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 What are the differences between a standard CSR wing stay and the Freestyle one to fit an S3 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrigsby Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I haven't seen a Freestyle one but we modified a standard one on my car which involve cutting on of the horizontals off and bending them apart a bit to fit Mog CSR style wings.

robmar Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Do the CSR ones actually fit a S3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noet Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'm just about mounting new CSR stanctions from Freestyle and new CSR carbon cycle wings from Joachim Westermann. Looks absolute cracking . The differense from standard is that the arm supporting the wing from underneath is straigt, not bended. Leads to move the wings 1/2 an inch out. Can take a few pics if it' s of interest Egil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k.russell Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 just had a look here Roger, cant see why they wouldnt fit, might need a slight bit of modification with the welder. Kevin R black(but sometimes orange)-ali HPC here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Roger You are correct in that the CSR stays will not fit on a series 3 as the offset is incorrect. I made my own however, since then Gary at Freestyle came up with his own design following a number of requests. Adrian Williams has a set on his R500.

jimmyslr Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Gents - I had CSR stays and wings fitted to my 1998 SLR with no problem. Admittedly I didn't do it myself, but no drama. Not a thing of beauty but I wanted the aero benefits as it's a race car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Looking at some of the photo's that folk have kindly sent it appears that the CSR stay fits perfectly to the upright BUT it is angled inwards towards the body of the car, If you look head on at a standard S3 stay the arms are in the 12 o'clock position. With the CSR stay the arms are at 5 past 12 (IYSWIM). Re welding the arms in the new position doesn't look too difficult ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Walker Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I modified csr stays to fit my S3. The upper arm needs to be bent outward by 16mm. The wing bolt mount needs to be cut off again outward by 16mm I then welded a small round plate onto this stub . The wings fit perfectly, and I am convinced that they reduce front end lift and the effects of crosswinds. The downside is they are not as effective at keeping stones or rain off the sides of the car. I have the caterham wings but the Mog ones are of better quality.

noet Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 If the Freestyle stanctions is used there is no need for modification. That depends the use of csr wings having the "lip" to meet the inner front mounting. Agree on that Mog is better quality Egil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k.russell Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Roger my second set of CSR wing from the factory look a better quality that the first set i put on, the first set broke from the outer edge, they have been held together with duct tape most of the summer 😳 Kevin R black(but sometimes orange)-ali HPC here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
