As title really. You all know the type, the flat ones.

Its the general jist I get from people on here and other motoring forums.

I think it's ok, but does look a tad dated.. got a C-West hammer shark wing on mine now, bit smaller than the STi item..

The downside of that is that nothing attracts unwanted attention like a big spoiler. Much as I like the Sti v one. I'm going with the more discreet WRC one for my classic cause I just don't want the aggro on the road!

Maybe I'm just getting old!

I've got the flat spoiler and I don't mind it at all. However now I have fitted 18" wheels it does look a bit small and out of place.

Therefore I'm going to replace it with a bigger one but don't want the BIG STi spoiler, so am hoping to get a UK300 one if I can

Apart from one Focus RS owner calling it a dinner-plate (can't quite see it meself) I've not had any funny comments about it on my WRX

I personally don't like the bugger wings, reckon they look daft and seem to attract the wrong sort of attention. But each to their own, go for what you like and burger what everyone else thinks

Personally i think they look pants which is why mine only lasted 2 months.
Now replaced by an STI high level jobby.
