Serpent wide rear wing, diffusor & rear pod plate

Made for the Serpent F110 SF2 formula car is are a new wide rear wing, diffusor and an adjustable rear pod support plate. Starting with the wing, it is available in a black and a white version and while being wider than the standard part it also offers additional adjustments in order to fine-tune downforce and drag. Swinging over to the diffusor, the moulded composite part is available in black colour only and it can add a certain stability while offering protection for the rear pod and spur gear at the same time. The diffusor is moulded from high-quality composite material and it attaches to the rear pod plate. Last but not least is the adjustable rear pod carbon fibre plate for the F110 that allows to mount the rear wing in a standard and a high position while retaining the diffusor’s low position. The wing and diffusor fit Serpent’s F110 kit and also the cars of many other brands.
