wingless is sweet! been wingless for a good few years now and the car feels the same even on some spirited runs!

Just fitted driftworks GT time attack rear wing but im not so sure about the look of it. was thinking maybe it should be smaller in width pics coming soon or if i extend it a bit higher maybe that will help This will only be on car when using it on track etc the rest of the time i will be doing my ironing on it

steve

i will prob get flamed for this, heyho

Buy an RA and you have an excuse to have no spoiler as it never came with one.

I think personally that the spoiler suits the car. Not many cars look good with them on

Good god, I've just seen the new spoiler.

OK on a pure race/track car but for road use, please make it detachable!

Won't the spoilerless scoobs be unstable and fly off the road into dykes without the downforce created by the spolier - or are you trying to tell me that ironing board spoilers (and yes, I have two) are purley cosmetic

I have tried mine at speeds in excess of 140 on tracvk and found no difference in the handling of the car..... feels just as stable as it ever did before i removed the spoiler and added the bmw lip..... ( i got mocked when i did it first, but it seems lots have follwed, so i clearly wasn't mad after-all...!!_

As i said before the idea is to run spoilerless for road use and put wing on for track, the car is being stripped out for track at moment so wont be useing it much on road soon

I wasn't too sure of the spoilerless look at first, but it's really grown on me.
The spoiler adds weight and noise at speed. Oh, and i can look over my sholder when over taking, without thinking there's a car up my ****!

I've since added the bmw carbon lip too, but not in this pic.
