Spoiler... Yay, or Nay

[lou tennant]

Whats your opinions... is it just a "look" thing, or does it actually contribute to handling. ???
Anyway heres mine which was on the Clio when I purchased it last week.
I quite like it. Possibly tempted to spray it in reverse.. ie white tips and black wing.

Keep it as is

I think that someone did a post years ago that showed the aerodynamic benefits of the spoiler and diffuser have an effect about 85mph.

I would keep the spoiler as it is.

I reckon I will burrellbloke and Beany, suits the looks of the rest of the Clio (flared arches, diffuser, twin exit, etc)
Cheers.

yay

It will do absolutely nothing for handling, it won't generate downforce. It might clean up a bit of the airflow at the back of the car at high speed but it will be 99% for looks and I doubt you'd feel any difference with or without. I personally like the Cup spoiler, so I'd vote to keep it.

I’d say yes and the track day ones are really nice

 

[Big Ben]

Keeper for sure

197 Aerodynamics (CFD analysis)

Hi guys. I'm running some CFD simulations on a model of a 197 in my spare time and wanted to open a thread so I can share the results with you. The goal is to see what aftermarket parts work and how well they work. Later on I will test out some custom stuff (wings, splitters etc.) as well. Now...

A good read.

It’s a stunning little car

Thank you sir, got a few bits to sort out yet though. Only had it a couple of weeks and not had chance to get into the "fun" zone yet.

My new 200 has the cup spoiler on too and the other day the wife said she doesn't like it! Well it's a good job her opinion doesn't matter a jot then isn't it . I'll be wrapping mine black though and the paint is cracked and I've got other parts to buy before paint.

Yay if it’s already on but nay if you don’t have one as they look sleeker and wider without.
