Does the cyclops eye do anything? Badge etc?

Looks a bit weird with the eye in it, otherwise a nice subtle spoiler.

Lip spoiler would be more practical. I found looking in the rear view mirror that wing took most of the view.

Have always pretty much preferred that subtle Senator lip over the boy-racerish R8 kit.

Good option I reckon prefer the look personally moulds nicely into the shape without looking like an aftermarket stick on job IMO

Does the original actually provide any 'real' downforce and if so how is the handling affected by the new one.

Every time I see a black one I am thinking nice....

Hi chaps,

I much prefer the lip spoiler to be honest, the HSV is a little OTT in my opinion.

The cyclops eye thing looks a little odd from side on though, maybe it would grow on me.

Cheers

Much prefer the new one, makes it looks much better.

Not convinced about the cyclops though, why not lose that? IMHO it would the look even better.

I like both - but the lip is subtle. Yeah, I'd go with the lip.

(opinion of an omega v6 owning lurker!)

I prefer the bootlip, there is enough on the r8 without a full on spoiler
