What do you think about adjustable tail spoilers on Mk1 cars and do you have one?

[Grady]

Is it only for those Mk1s with front canards? The MkIIs have them, but usually no front canards.

I thought that only the cars with canards had the wickerbill on the tail. I had planned on running both, but may change my mind yet again..

If you really can push the car near the limits, I wouldn't do one without the other. If you're like most of us, you'll never actually test the aerodynamics, so just do what looks good to your eye.

Oh, and yes, I have one, and I will put on canards.

They are decorative appendages on a car that needs none

 

[Peter G-Pete Fritsche]

For me it is a must. That rounds and finishes the car. It elevates the vehicle from a street to a track car look.

Here a before picture....

 

[Dave Bilyk]

Peter, I must agree, here's my effort. No Canards yet tho.

 

[Pat Buckley]

I agree - much better with.

 

I'd agree with earlier posts, unless you are exploring the absolute limits with huge performance then aero tweaks are low down the priority list. But if you want a complicated project then ...........

I put a spoiler on the rear of my 1968 No 11 replica. I also put 'pockets' into the bodywork at the ends for authenticity. The fixings have subtle led's in them which have allowed me to get rid of the un-authentic looking reverse lights.
