Should I or Shouldn't I

Looking at making a spoiler similar to a F1 type

I've photoshop'd one on to an earlier picture i have.

Not sure if i like it or not









Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary... that's what
gets you.

I really like that! If i were going with a 'normal' seven front end i would probably fit something like that to mine.

You should really have done a poll for this one





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I'd say no, mainly becasue you called it a spoiler when it's a wing, or should be a wing, and that demonstrates a lack of knowledge in an area where alot of time and effort can be easily wasted.

If you do a little research it'll work, and could provide some benefit, but it'll take a lot of research to make a front wing succesful.

Is there a prblem with the car that you're trying to overcome, or is it just for looks/the fun of it?

There's also the complexity of making and moulding the aerofoil profile.

i think the wings on the car pictured are way over the top and do wonder how much they really help.

if you could design a decent front splitter rather than a spoiler it could look great
