[Andy]

Forgive my ignorance, what does this do?

 

[Fletcher]

I might be wrong, but is it just there for looks? i

I do want one though.

I firstly just want to say what a great service you offer on this site and to say thanks for all your help so far. I know that there are a lot of people here who are very grateful for your help. Anyway down to business, do the optional spoilers on the Clio 182 cup pack actually offer any aerodynamic advantage or are they just for show?

Hi there, thanks for kind words. Result of wind tunnel tests carried out: Front Cup Spoiler lip gives a 3% reduction in drag Rear Cup Spoiler gives a 2% reduction in drag and a 65% reduction in rear axle lift For info, the V6 rear spoiler, as used on the Trophy, gives an 87% reduction in rear axle lift, compared to the base spoiler. Everything has a purpose... Regards.

Sweet. Nice to know. The car needs all the help it can get dragging my fat a**e around.
