Wings are to generate a force, upwards for an aircraft and downwards for cars.

Spoilers, as their name suggests are to 'spoil' airflow in order to reduce low pressure areas that may be causing a car to lift at speed.

According to the dictionary, it is a spoiler (on two counts - the first as it causes spoilage to the aesthetics of the vehicle )

dictionary definition of 'spoiler' said:

spoil·er n.

• One who seizes spoils or booty.
• Something that causes spoilage.

• A long, narrow hinged plate on the upper surface of an airplane wing that reduces lift and increases drag when raised.
• An air deflector mounted usually at the rear of an automobile to reduce lift at high speeds.
• A candidate for office whose chances of winning are slight but who may get enough votes to prevent one of the leading candidates from winning.
• A published piece of information that divulges a surprise, such as a plot twist in a movie.

Too obcscure for me - maybe another coffee would help...
