I wouldn't trust a stick on bumper at all, I've heard a lot of bad things with 'stick on' parts, especially ones that require a lot of forced aero over them... Just my 2cents, but obviously having heard of Mac's coming off, and seeing [MENTION=8211]stevec[/MENTION]'s roof spoiler coming off, I wouldn't like to see cÂŁ200-400+ flying off my rear bumper!

Wouldn't have thought a *spoiler* would be affected by the airflow as much as a scoop as the air flows over it as opposed to into it with potentially nowhere to go from there. Didn't know about Steve's roof spoiler however.

Unfortunately the airflow over the spoiler on a convertible changes quite a bit when you have the roof down, so stand up ones like the CS has to be quite low off the rear end, otherwise you could get noise generated from it and some drag issues can be a problem as well.

Was told that when I was interrested in the GT350 carbon spoiler.
So now i am looking for something low:D

i have this on my american car, it's a copy of the Roush spoiler, but to fit the cutout for the high mounted brake light. just something to consider. Attaches with two holes drilled on the outside corners and then double sided tape in the middle.

Hope they ship to the UK for you folks. Here is mine at various angles

Just one concern I have. With all this talk about the RHD differences from the LHD, are the rear ends (bodywork) going to be the same. ie, would a spoiler bought in the States, built for a LHD, fit on a RHD?

Paranoid...:shrug:
