I like wings too my friend, just fancied a change after 2.5 years of ownership

If I get bored it'll take half and hour to put the old trunk lid and wing back on

LOL I read the title wrong and got all curious to see your pic without a wig!

Yes,wingless look is a thing,of course.When i had my scoob's spoiler changed,i ran it without wing and did not accept it at all.It made a difference in the car handling too.Yours looks alright.i have seen a few without the wing and they look fine.
I personally prefer a wing.

Looking good there Jim

Have you had to adjust the tension much so when you open the trunk it does not fly up the quickly ?

I love the big wing on a scoob, but that looks hard as nails mate.

Loving the hard aggressive front end, with the wingless rear.

Choosing to be different mate, has definately paid off, dont put the wing back on!!!

I like it.

You have been spending too much time with the yanks on NASIOC!

(How does it effect the CORNERing? )

I like it.

I've always said that if I had a newage I'd go for the understated look. I think they look nice with a FMIC and no scoop as well. I'd probably paint the mirrors and boot to avoid the "spare parts" look though. I'd be interested to know how the car behaves up around the top end. I understand from others that you loose some stability without the rear spoiler.

PS A while back I asked one of the lads to photoshop one for me. This is what he came up with



Looking at this and on second thoughts, I think your mirrors unpainted would look nice.

Will add them sometime this week, if you've got more (I've seen the others on page 2 as well) then send them to me.

The stability seems fine but I have'nt been really quick yet without the wing on so I'll have to let you know.

Sirfoz, do it mate

Yep, big fan of it too.... I think you should ditch your big front splitter and fit a subtle carbon item, it would complement the street sleeper look a bit more IMO.
