If you want to get super specific, "under any circumstances" is still a little bit in the grey area.
When the wings arent on the car if you sit them on the ground they are below the reference plane.
Not being attached to the car is "any circumstance".
Yes... although one would have to wonder if they still count as 'bodywork' when they're not attached

So I'm not sure your analogy quite works. Although I think I understand your point, which is that it is impossible to legislate for 'any circumstance' and we should use some common sense. And I'm all for that.

The wording is quite clear:

no part of the bodywork, with the exception of the skid block
in 3.13 above, may under any circumstances be located below the reference plane.
So let me ask this: why would this rule cease to apply when the car is in motion?
