I guess with bald tires and non-British car, needs all the help he can get. Or it is an antenna and eavesdropping on neighbors internet services. :excitement:

These particular cars have always been amusing (with a single spoiler) because that wing invariably wouldn't be really useful until the car was going faster than it could even go.

And i still can never get my head around a spoiler on a front wheel drive car.

but look at us actually discussing this as though it was a normal rational logic that led to that drivers decision. Clearly he read somewhere that chicks dig spoilers and figured more must be better :jester:

I pulled the stock spoiler on my 2003 MINI S and put a JCW spoiler in it's place. Even though it is front wheel drive, you can control the rear slide better for track and Solo. I also added splitter to front and now have a confortable downforce at speed in curves.IMG_20180603_201325.jpg

Audi TT has a rear spoiler, to correct high speed instability. And the chicks really dig it!! (Actually I much prefer the clean lines of the original TT, but respect the engineering team.)

That's a pretty little Mini, Larry!

Thanks. Exterior pretty much original except add ons. These wheels are track tires and wheels. I also took out rear seat for weight and lighter battery ( about 100 lbs. alltogether with skid plate for rallyes ). Need to go and see how much closer I am in the curves. The V-8s hate seeing the red mirrors in their rear vision.
