Tin Spoiler - Under front of Griffith
Discussion
I now have some conclusions concerning the missing tin spoiler at the front of the Griffith ... These are my opinions, not fact, only findings and what I am going to do about it ...
1 - The Griffith definitely runs hotter without the spolier. My conclusion is that the spolier creates a low pressure zone under the car which enables greater air flow through the engine bay/radiator.
My car is definitely running hotter on the motorway in comparable conditions to previously. I have checked all other attirbutable causes and they have not changed.
2 - Handling wise....if there is a difference it is only very slight. It only appears at speeds in excess of legallity. I am not convinced that it has no effect, I am just not convinced of how much effect it does have.
Conclusion ...
I will getting another spolier made and will be refitting it to the Griffith.
Cheers
