Clamshells or Cycle wings

I have cyclewings on the car but have a set of Clamshells lying in the garage. Do i put the clamshells on. Let the polling begin.

Silly question if you ask me! Cycle wings!!

Cycle wings are lighter and don't generate as much front end lift at speed.
Clamshells protect a bit more from cr*p being thrown up from the road and give a period look.

If you really like clamshells then go for it, but I doubt many here would pick them given the choice.

Clamshells don't suffer from metal fatigue and fall into the road...

I quite like the look, but that's just me!

Clam shells add about 50% to the aero drag and generate lift.

Clam shells for the period look! I do miss my locost...

I have a set of each and I am curious as to wether either/ither hold an advantage for IVA?
