Cup Spoiler Vs Normal Spoiler Weight

[TarkMalbot]

Considering swapping my Cup Spoiler for a Standard Spoiler to save weight. Just wondering how much difference there was.

Also I am wrapping the roof black so would swap my Iceberg Cup Spoiler for a Black Normal one.

I doubt there would be loads, every little bit helps

The weight of the wrap on your roof, possibly also the weight of a small meal in your stomach, probably makes more difference.

Are you going for a full out competitive race car or 'fast road'?

 

[TarkMalbot]

If a can sell mine for what they are advertised in eBay for and get a black normal one for cheap I won't have the spray or wrap the silver one when I wrap the roof and save weight so all good.

The cup one does look better though.

Race Car eventually.
If you saw the spray job and miss matching colour of my roof you would see why I want to wrap it. Lol

I suppose there is money to be made out of it, but I would be polycarbing my windows, removing the innards of my headlights, drilling holes in things and going on a diet before I thought that a slightly smaller spoiler would give me the next greatest weight saving.

The aerodynamic aspect is a bigger consideration for changing the spoiler really.

Take all the panels off too. That will be a massive weight saving.

Lol at this thread.

Better off taking a shite before you go a drive.

I've got a normal black spoiler to swop!

 

[TarkMalbot]

I will be going poly window etc etc.
As said money to be made, saves on spraying or wrapping and saves weight with maybe not as good looking as a compromise.
Someone must know the weight but not to worry as depending how I swap I might be able to weight them both before sending the Cup spoiler off.

I've some silver base model front wings (without the flare) if you want to save further weight.

Cup spoiler is 3.5kg, standard spoiler is 2.5kg

 

[markclio]

ive a black one.. £25.00 posted..

 

[Goodj]

Think of the extra rear downforce provided by the cup spoiler though.
Probably all of 1kg.
That's lap time, right there

 

[TarkMalbot]

So its not as bad as some people make out. I have read it weighs a lot more but didn't know that actual values. Might not be worth doing and just wrap the spoiler at the same time as the roof. At least it would match then and save some hassle.

Every little helps and it'll add up.
