i seriously need some tips on the spoiler/wing question..

-no wing at all? (i think the car will need one)
-Volvo Btcc wing? (hard to find)
-Btcc "look a like" http://www.nicedeals.co.uk/product_i...ducts_id=11542
-A simple lip on the back end of the trunck lid?
-Bmw e30 m3 wing with the adjustable lip? (customised to fit ofcourse)


Any other? (the car is somewhat race ispired, so the wing should aslo be so)

the gr,A wing?

Yes!

[volvo242]

thanks for your input!

The 850 wing is a nice one, but i think its to "modern" for my old volvo!

GrA wing is the wing everybody use on the 200s here! I want to stand out from the crowd!

dont get me wrong, the gra wing is supernice! but i see them everywere!

[ZeusR]

Yeah, I hear you. Had no idea it was played out.
