Gents

I have tested 3 cars this week the Evora is hitting more of the plusses than the others, aside from just one, the rear spoiler!

It might sound petty but i just can’t get past that fact that it doesn’t quite look right to me (sorry.....) and i wondered what my options are - I know there is a GTE option but its super expensive, what else can be done?

Thanks
Mark

SCREEM has the GT4/GTE rear spoiler along with the GT4 engine cover on his car and it looks fantastic IMO. High level brake light was fitted in to the rear window I believe for MOT compliance.

Another owner had some risers made up to lift the standard spoiler, similar in appearance to the original Evora Type 124 race car (concept?) that Lotus Motorsport built up before the GT4. This continued to use the standard third brake light in the rear wing as the cable is long enough to still reach.

Fititng risers could be an iteresting idea - its good to know there are options, but given the cars been out for sometime i am surprised by the limited number of modifications you see, especially given the trend for Exige and Elises.....

One previous quote regarding rear wings "The rear wing reduced my top speed from 120 to 114 mph at MIRA handling circuit" http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=760...

Its the same with the Exige, the roadster is actually quicker due to less drag. No doubt on some race track there might be corners through which the additional downforce will improve matters, but otherwise they are a waste of time, but do look the part!
