Default De-Spoiler Opinions or Spolier Suggestions

I was thinking about this the other day, and then after searching thought that some cars look really good de-spoilered and some just do not AT ALL.

I think the look of the car in terms of; lowered, wheel choice and wheel/car colours all play a crutial part in making the de-spoilered look making a good impression.

The high rise spoiler I have on now looks fine, but I know the UK300 spoiler looked much better on my last car....

Also in all seriousness, is there any real gains to be had by having on/off the car? Mine was loose the other day, so I unbolted it to clean it and boot thoroughly to realise that they weight next to **** all.

However what are your views?

Its kind of sorted, all depends what you want

Hopefully the Official Sticker with more options will be sorted very soon. I have some nice other exmples of work on offer too Maybe I should start a thread asking snet members what they would like to see on offer?

Like u say rob, it depends alot on certain things. But i think low, big wheels, no spoiler, mint, looks sooooo much better. Personal choice tho. That goes for newage or classic.
But if its relatively standard keep the spoiler on!!

Dont think theres to much gaines in taking it of maybe a bit in drag, I think they only start getting used at like 120 mph or something but not sure on that one.

Post 11 on here.. https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...-hawkeyes.html Looks good mate, but I still prefer the UK300 Spoiler Post 8.. I think thats because it looks the part, isnt in your face but yet serves the purpose

Mine is currently the same as Post 2, but my car is Silver..

I'll start a thread once up and running, and more importantly once Ive got the nod of the mods

Yes bespoke ones will also be available upon request

---------------------------------------------------------

Back on Topic:

As I class my car currently as an Ugly Duckling i havent any photos of it period as its spent all its life since I have owned it in a workshop , so I have just nipped out and took a couple in bad light

As of next week it will have Coilovers, and GB Mudflaps fitted which should help with the Dare Drift stance:

If you go de-spoilered then you gotta go all out on it, ie- slammed , a euro or wide wheel. Like rota,bbs

You can still get the same effect with the spoiler, just choose the right wheels and ride height, get a stance and keep the spoiler, then you can't go wrong.

I agree with Rob, to pull it off requires decent drop and wheels i think. Although i still love the look with the spoiler. It depends from car to car what looks best.

Hi Rob
personally i would leave rear spoiler where is it(on car)....
Rear spoiler have real gains,because create downforce which is good,just take off the rear spoiler and run Marham 30-130 or 1 mile drag strip,you will gain on Top speed,but you will loose at quick turns if you have plan run some track days,just have look why every car which running TA have rear spoiler(some have real BIG)..
Without the spoiler car look nice(i would say some,some look like ...e),but personally i would fit carbon rear spoiler(S202 spoiler is OK,APR GT-300),which you can take off and put again,if you are need...
But end of the day,is your car matey
