Right, don't panic this is not really for my locost, well not till it’s SVA’d anyway.

It's regarding the fitment of front aerofoils, not the plastic boy racer type but real F1 style working ones. Now I have to confess I have one fitted to the front of my Bluebird I kid you not. Even on this totally unsuitable (some would say disturbing) car it works tremendously (I can tell by the steering getting very heavy and my lights descending at speed) and there’s no danger of me removing it any time soon.

Question is, is it legal to have on the front of a car? Bearing in mind all the rumpus about kiddy killer bullbars, boy I loved making those things, especially with the whizzing blades! Has anyone had a run in with the bobby’s over their spoiler? I’ve yet to but I do get some funny looks from people…

I believe it to be quite rude to comment on something as "quality" as a front spoilered Bluebird Without also including a pic of said (or should that be sad) spoilered Bluebird!!!
we want pics, we want pics....

hmm could I stand the insults!

I'll take a pic tomorrow...

Interesting, I have just been trying to persuade my mate that we need this type of thing on our Avon to reduce the 40kg lift at 100mph mentioned in another thread. If you are at the meet on Sunday then maybe we can discuss the best way of achiving this then

What about wishbone foils that fluke motorsport sell?
Anyone got them ?makes a difference?
priced a bit to steep though (pure carbon fibre!!)
