Spotted Chimaera with HUGE spoiler - Shoreham

[julianhj]

I saw a dark-coloured (maybe black) Chim with small silver viper stripes and a really quite sizable alloy-strut/carbon-wing combo. Seen heading north through Shoreham, West Susssex. Is it known on here? The effect was, erm, different!

Good man!

Could it be this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-TVR-CHIMAE

It was getting a sl@gin off a week ago!!!

Oh Dear.

OH I've seen it around too.

In the Worthing area, not my cup of tea IMHO.

What's the rear wing for, keeping the boot shut?

[julianhj]

The spoiler was very similar, if not identical to the Ebay car. I'm sure it wasn't that colour though, and it had silver stripes up the centre too, plus a modded front grill and private number plate starting 'B'...

presumably because it's not your car, it's his ..and he can do with it whatever he likes, it's his car! Ok so you might not like it (neither do i) but i respect his right to spoiler his car if he so chooses.

Can't argue with that

Some people should be taken out into field and just Executed for having ZERO Taste.

Similar to Pet owners that are not allowed to have pets after real bad treatment (ok it is only a car and animal abuser should get worse).

TBH I'd rather see a Chim with a spoiler driven properly as opposed to an absolute minter which is painstakingly polished every single weekend and driven like a nissan micra. If a spoiler gives the guy (or gal) their feel good factor then who can argue with that?

It's probably a similar placebo to the sports exhaust, it doesn't make the car go any faster but if the owner thinks it sounds better they'll most likely rev it just a little more so it 'seems' faster. Never see anyone on here slagging sports exhausts though which is really odd, always reminds me of the kids who stuffed flappers in the back wheels of their pushbikes lol.

Nice to see you sat on the fense, with a neutral opinion, as usual matey.

[Blipi]

True to CeeJay's point but still, have mercy, the car is stunning and a mod like that is totally out of character to the motor let alone tasteless.

And it looks like a garage queen

Think you'd need a bigger wing than that to get a Chim to understeer like a nissan micra ( ... think Hillman Imp on grass)
