Default What spoiler?

I've just bought a black 'blobeye' type25 and it has a low level spoiler.

The question is do I keep the spoiler as it is so it looks like a wrx or do I opt for a bigger spoiler? I wouldnt want anything too lairy but a higher level one like that on an sti would be good.

Opinions please

Get an S204 style spoiler - nice little carbon wing. It's a bit different whilst retaining a degree of subtlety

I'd say go for the WRC look one, like on the English STIs. I just can't get used to a scoob without a high spoiler!

But don't you realise that a spoiler will give you an extra 700 kg of downforce at 30mph??...I may have exagerated slightly...

its surplus to requirements, and therefore excess weight. It will reduce your 0-60 by atleast 3s if you get rid of it!

I may have exaggerated a little...

I agree with TX , the S202 spoiler would look good on your car but I would say that.

I would love to get one of them for my car, but the price of them is phenomenal - I could get a turbo and some pinks for that money
