Cup/Trophy Spoilers

[Stu172cup]

Do the Cup/Trophy Spoilers make ANY actual real differance

i mean the Clio isnt the most Aerodynamically efficient of vehicles

apart from looking good , is it worth the effort of sourcing one for a track car ??

Thanks stu

just the look i should think

IIRC Burpspeed dont have one on their race car so doubt it actually does anything.

They look good though, Trophy ones especially.

Good , ill be Sticking with my Boggo one - If it doesnt make it go faster , stop quicker , or handle better its not for me

Can anyone throw a comparison picture my way, between for example, the Dynamique standard spoiler and the Cup spoiler?

Non cup/dynamique left, cup right

The difference is so small. I still have no idea why people get so worked up over having one.

 

[blackcarbon]

personally prefer the non cup looks sleeker imo

 

[Burty182]

There is a huge difference imo.

 

[plymcl172]

the brake light is too big on the cup spoiler! not a fan ! and I dont see what the big deal is ....

 

[SaMk2]

How much can I pick a Cup spoiler up for then? That'll probably help me decide if its worth it or not.

 

[Stu172cup]

There is a huge difference imo.

In looks of performance - We can all see the "difference" but unless it makes real world difference - IE reduces lift at the rear , probably downforce even however small is negligible then i cant see the issue - or the huge price differences

Where can your buy a trohpy spoiler from? There hard as hell to find

 

[Knuckles]

Cup spoilers go for £100-£160 iirc

trophy spoilers go for £160 + pm wests renault turner.

Makes a lot of difference visually , would 100% get one

 

[r900smp]

MASSIVE difference!

 

[Stu172cup]

Practically Over aesthetically , you can tell it looks better , but i dont want to put £200 quid into something thats not going to make any difference to the way my car does , handles or stops , to be fair i think the money will be best put into some solid top mounts , leave the spoilers to the buftys out there

 

[Knuckles]

Apparently theres a marginal difference in downforce between the standard/cup/trophy ones and the ironing board v6 trophy spoilers... i remember someone mentioning it on here but there was no proof and they look ridiculous on any car that will see a road

 

[Stu172cup]

Marginal isnt good enough lol , unless its a significant gain im not interested

 

[turner24]

Cheers, dno wot it is but ive jus taken a likin 2 the trophy over standard

Marginal isnt good enough lol , unless its a significant gain im not interested

WTF would you want Downforce at the rear anyway. It's a FWD car FFS.

 

[Stu172cup]

For that Very Reason - Quick Light FWD Drive cars are inherently nervous at the rear , you must have driven a 205 gti ?? - It not ALOT of downforce , just seeing if there were any real or obvious reasons that renault decided to fit the larger spoilers to the more focussed cars - if i wanted all out downforce , id flat floor it , create a rear difuser and stuff on a huge BTCC style rear wing like the Civics

 

[chriscummins7]

Downforce? Are you racing said clio?

 

[Stu172cup]

Developing , for potential entry into Track day trophy - part of the thing i like it the fairly relaxed rules allowing you to see what works and what doesnt.
