How about a combination of the two styles ? I have a large CF single element ( 13" cord ) supported by the modern type alloy pylons on the GTW. It looks modern but is more efficient than your two blade affair found on the current models.

So how much downforce does your rear wing generate at speeds of 150+mph?

Price may be a deciding factor, To be honest I don't think the spyder needs a wing, sport yes spyder no. But if it has to have one, then I would go with the original, because of those beautiful, wavy, curves on the back end, I don't think the new one with the short pilons would suit it, but hey, go with the flow dude !

Still can't decide what looks better... the original wing, or the newer modular Can-Am wing?

Any opinions from fresh eyes?

Haven't fitted yet, so still some deciding to do.
IMO the can-am wing looks a bit like the ones a lot of Astra 1.1 litres cars have. Are they the same? £29.99 in Asda.
