Completely the opposite (unless you make really tough jelly?) With the wheels being so close to the arches I've got the coilovers on their stiffest setting, coupled with lower COG and front and rear strut braces and it drives steady as a rock.

Thanks guys

Was looking at your thread earlier Jon, thought you were joining Team Spoilerless at one point, and that flat finish looked awesome!

Yeah, people keep telling me it looks good rolling, unfortunately I never get to see that view :/

I did think about it briefly, but got such a good price on the S202 spoiler it was rude not to. Just finished fibre-glassing the extra spoiler holes as the S202 would fit with the original holes, but was pulling the legs so a drill a couple of extras, and filled those that wouldn't be covered by the foot of the spoiler legs

The flat look, again, I have considered it and I'm only about 75% sure about going for a gloss finish at the moment

I think I like the idea of it more than actually doing it, I don't polish mine anywhere near as much as I should, but I think I'd miss the shine if it was gone :/

And even when they're not polished the DBM cars have an awesome sheen
