It looks good, this may sound stupid but can you actually feel any difference through say high speed corners? Had a look and they are £180 from amazon which I think is pretty good.

No, I don't think the spoiler makes any 'real' noticeable difference. Maybe if you were to do thorough in depth tests, but I think it's more of a visual aspect it's an option.

Amazon sell Cup Spoilers?!

Unfortunately it's just cosmetic. As well as weight, it also adds drag and reduces the top speed by 6 mph...

Makes the top speed 6mph slower too, I've not tried my 2 x200's (1 with, 1 without spoiler) side by side doing this....

Wow I didn't expect it to make that much difference!

I can't see a 6mph decrease tbh.

An escort cosworth whale tail only reduces the top speed by 10mph.
And that's a huge one, with an upswept lip to aid downforce too.

6mph is a little drastic sounding.

Be careful with that one, it stated a 'gt' spoiler, but pictures a 'cup' one

[C2james]

Maybe to you, but the guy that did it races in Clio Cup so knows what he's talking about. Have you ever Vmax'ed yours? It takes forever to get to +135 mph on a gps so a delta of 6 mph is totally believable with all that stuck on the roof.

Here we have it!
