Yes custom made by Arch Motors who make the rear uprights and most other parts metalwork for the car. Dont bother calling them though they will not sell parts direct.

Re: front uprights
Not much change from £500 I imagine, not seen any quoted costs since ~2007 when it was around £420 ..
I'm not sure if that includes the wheel bearing ..

Uprights would be bare I suspect No Bearing
When you start to add a corner up it gets expensive

Re: front uprights
Not sure where those prices you had came from ...
From the Ariel configurator
2010 Front CF Aerofoil and mounts £1,565 £274 VAT Total £1,839
2011 £1,565 £313 VAT Total £1,878
2013 £1,565 £313 VAT Total £1,878
To fit the front wing, you would need to have had the front tow bar option fitted at build time as it's to this assembly that the front wing is attached. It can be fitted post-build but it's more work of course ..
Here's a picture showing the front tow hook mounting assembly that doubles as the front wing attachment too :-

Re: front uprights
What are you having second thoughts about? Just the wings? Presumably if you need the uprights, you need the uprights, not much you can do about that. But there is not reason you have to have wings. Many prefer the look of the car without.
Atom 3 300. Surrey, England.
Re: front uprights
The point of dispute is the nearly 20% increase in price of front wing not that i need uprights i have purchased uprights and have just fitted them and re_alligned great car, pricing structure a touch vague Good job i love the rush of driving thisrocket

Re: front uprights
The prices I showed are the same as yours !
I suggested/quoted from Ariel's own configurator - Front CF wing + mounts £1,565 + VAT
You said you were charged £1,360 + VAT for the wing and £204 + VAT for the front mounts
In my book that's within £1 ..
