G60Jet

correct but you need to add the the third dimension which i will like all good lectures demonstrate with the aid of a diagram basically the spoiler redirects the air up very slightly. reducing drag and increasing downforce by forcing the air travelling under the car to fill the void that the spoiler has created, this has the effect of sucking the air out from under the car creating low pressure (high speed air) and increasing downforce or reducing the lift created by the shape of the top of the car. Air traveling over the car will take longer to reach the back than air traveling under the car producing lift, but if you make the air coming from under the car come out faster than if can come in you creat a vaccum effect. This is why formula 1 cars have very little ground clearance but a massive deffusser on the rear, sucking out any air under the car. And to add one other point, IF the spoiler Created downforce it would be at the rear, and for a front wheel drive car you are effectivly making the front of the car lighter and MAY introduce understeer.!! NOT NICE, the faster you got the heavier the back gets and the lighter the front gets

Yep, cant be helped sometimes. I normal sit in the que at the drive through (MCAUTO) playing with the spoiler to the amazment of the boy racers behind

so where you in Almeria or Alicante!!

mine does it but i know my idle is low, but it ticks over fine so im not bothered

G60Jet, they are clamped on,even went to the dealers to ask about some and they only do universal ones now :( i know they are as i've got some :lol:

Having Checked there are, could of swore there were more different ones than that from pic's i've seen

I was on a site ages ago that had loads of carbon bits for the C, spoilers, glove box govers, dash faciers, rad covers, various trim for inside etc. cant for the life of me remember where though

you can get carbon spoilers already

they are not the same as mine and they would have to be screwed to the bumper, where as the VW ones clamp on

there are a few different panel types wonder which one they modeled it on!

kevhaywire, every thing wears out eventually which is my whole point

so basically your saying a lifetime guarantee means that every time it wears out you get a new one!! :lol: can i have some tyres with a lifetime guarantee then please, and a whole car while im at it. read the small print

nice one :D

he's selling other VW stuff from inside the car

You get what you pay for with HT & LT leads. buy the best you can afford, and if you are worried about them not fitting into the guides then buy no bigger than 7mm. From my experience of life time guarentee's waste of time after twelve months as the Life time bit means what it is. when its worn out its the end of its life time. Take a zorst for instance, if is rusts through as most do, thats its lifetime. Life time guarentees normally only cover bad workmenship or manufacturing defects that could show up at anytime.

just saw the end of it with the C sitting outside there garage/lock up. i think it was a storm

could be the mattig DTM ones too but hard to tell

g-man, could they be FK Custom ones Race look, come in manual or electrinc at £45 and £95 respectivly

kevhaywire, i know that :lol: was just pointing out the correct name :wink:

BeavisJem, you could have a non oem stick on mirror, that is stuck onto the oem mirror, thus not getting heated cos its trying to heat the old glass and the new stuck to it.

VR6, Tom did you find out if it was only fitted to models with ABS?? I've got it on my G60 with the ABS

cool my C is still on there!! http://www.jwelty.com/jwelty3/nigels-radojet.htm

I've got the Amp power cable going down the battery side of the car along with all the other cables. The signal cables come off my head unit down the tunnel as stevemac says and into the boot

all cars in the UK registered AFTER Aug 92 require a Cat (well petrol ones at least)

i seem to remember them having different part numbers so i guess there is a clue there too
