Gay pride?

No, that is how the kids look nowadays.

Well said MAXR. If you use it for track gains and it's actually giving you an advantage then fair play, otherwise in my opinion it looks stupid. The kind of thing you would put on when your 18 and have had a trip to halfords with your mates. Of course only my opinion but it does make the car look pants

I definitely agree with the buying flowers BGW .. I've temp removed mine as wanna see if I feel any difference it's been fitted so long

I also think it will devalue your car compared to standard at selling time. Even on track, it's only relevant if it's set correctly, I've been running my rear wing too steep for years, just adding drag, adding weight & lowering my speed down the straights, where most time is gained. Basically, it makes your car look a bit 'Chaz n Dave,' it draws attention from Muppets & many just smirk at the immature owner. Again, just my opinion.

Though mine does look silly, it actually seems to work from about 110 leptons onwards, most people who've been in it comment on it, particularily if they've driven it. The chord ratio is very good on it and it is mounted just above the roof level at only about 3 degrees of attack. I've got some wool strand videos of it working too which was rewarding.

 

Have a plan to install springs to make it deflect upwards more at low speed and then self compress down to reduce downforce as speed builds up, however as usual I spend most of my time driving it instead.

Well, no one should be driving at warp speed on the open roads anyway.

 

That said, everyone has a choice to spend their hard earned cash on whatever they choose & to also modify their car to their own taste.

When driving stupid power, everything counts to keep the car on the road/track. So when installing a big wing for it , so it will be....

I would be proud if i had a wing like that . (a adjustable and calculated one)

Sadly, i still do'nt need it ,....maybe in the future when my charger/engine breaks..... :-)

 

However, a 'simple' road car does not need this....

 

Installing diffusers (the correct ones,and not the ones everybody installs),wings,springs,brakes, i'm all for it BUT it needs to have a function.

 

But hey, i'm almost 40 and not 18 anymore :-)

Agreed Mr S.

Agreed Mr S.

 

I was tempted to add Exiges as well but didn't want to offend you.  

 

Okay, that's not strictly true; I remembered I liked S3 Exiges.

[rob999]

S3's are just too large I'm afraid and the arse end still looks a bit shite in my eyes.
