Default Cannards on a classic?

Does anyone have these on their classic?

And does the car benefit from these?

Please post pictures.

Hmm tried searching on google images, they're those things attach to the bumper on the side.

Or they're not called cannards?



I suppose they wouldn't go on a classic, without a new/different bumper. Hmmmmmmm.....

They go on the bug eye I think?




Not see any, or any pics on a classic?? ? ? Or don't fit?

Anyway I'm sure they benefit the car, on track purpose I guess? I'm not really a tech-wizz....

Hmm yeah, maybe ....

Think the classic bumper is awkward for them to go on?


Ahhhhh they look so nice......... especially on that yellow impreza.... I think I might have to upgrade to that shape

MOT performance friendly centres have found no worries with them

Police haven't noticed or been bothered to investigate them.....touch wood

Not sure if i can report on how effective they are, the car does feel sure footed at speed and round corners so maybe they are effective , look menacing though IMO

some older pictures

Where do you live?

//schemes about stealing


Yeah they do look awesome


jimimac - do you have pictures? As I'm thinking of getting some, but hell.. I don't know if they would go or not! I don't want to trial and error.

alloy - Did you just fit them yourself or?
If they're benefitting the car, should they be in a 'certain position'??

I'm pretty sure you'd get done for those if a copper had nothing better to do than pull you over. They are quite obviously a danger to pedestrians, hence the reason why you don't see road cars driving around with sharp edged blades all down their sides LOL
