Yeah im not quite sure what the thought process was behind fitting a rubbery/foamy spoiler, maybe the poodle perms effected their brain activity back then.

I think i will take it off actually, just stick a 2p coin underneath to cover the whole up for the time being, im going to spray the tailgate and bonnet black i think, eventually the whole thing will be black anyway.

i was once told it was an attempt at imitating porche's design for a foam spoiler, the idea being that at high speed the increased airflow would alter the shape of the wing and therefor also downforce. i suspect this is a load of breeze though, as the weight gain from using a rubber lump must offset any gain it gave
