WRC Subaru

[EJ Doc]

This is a pic of a WRC style Subaru rear wing. Would anyone pay £1800 for a fibre-glass replica? It just seems so expensive for a spoiler. What do you guys think? i know its a flipping good spolier but for somone to take a normal high rise spolier and put vains in it then charge that much does look a bit cheaky i think.

I think it is too expensive just on a scooby, plus it would be whipped off and put on the back of a saxo very quickly.

Replicas of that spoiler are available on www.scoobyworld.co.uk £750

How many CD's can you get in it?

Looks like a few, I've been told that these spoilers have been known to pull boot lids off because of the downforce they create. Whether its true or not I'm a bit dubious.

Hhhhhmmmmm Doesn't really sound quite right though does it? But hell what do I know I've got a door stuck on the back of mine.

I know they create alot of downforce but so much it takes the boot off hhhhmmmm. Think someone may have been tellinga little white lie there to you buddy.

Thanks for all your replys

hahaha that looks comically bad

1800 quid!!! erm, no thanks, i wouldn't give a tenner for it

[DocJock]

Exactly.

You could get some AP 6-pots for that £1800.

How exactly is excess downforce supposed to remove the bootlid anyway? I can see how enough could bend a bootlid a bit at the mounting points if it was a flimsy lid, but for something to pull it off it'd have to be providing a whole lot of lift instead (e.t.a : or drag if it was supposed to pull it off backwards?!?). Or have I misunderstood?

As well as creating downforce which will push the boot down it'll also create a lot of drag which will pull the boot backwards.
