Wondering if the bonnet spoiler has a use, and aids downforce, or just a pretty ornament.

Always thought about buying one, but genuine ones seem to be as rare as hen’s teeth these days!

I think they are quite unique in their way as you dont see bonnet spoilers on any other car that I know of.
They must add a bit of downforce.
I have a wings west one which is a direct copy but in much stronger material. You can still buy them new from usa.

I think that is the appeal. Might put one on my Christmas shopping list.
Is that the first time Christmas has been mentioned in months?

Yep. You're the first one to sully the forum with it this year!!! (although I notice the Supermarkets had already got in on the action a few weeks ago...)

If you do get one bolt it down don't glue it as someone glued mine and now I can't get it off :lol:

OEM bonnet spoiler helps the air flow to direct it around the pillars so you get less wind noise at high speeds and ofcourse looks good too.

You could substitute that with the word ‘Sexy’
