HERE are some pics of bigbadboab's car.

My first time driving a mini I was amazed at how much it stuck to the road on corners. I don't see any point in spoilers on most minis...except for that street look if that's what your going for.

However, at high speeds on certain cars a spoiler can make a difference to downforce, and therefore handling and grip.

yer, considering bigbadboabs was not meant for a mini, it looks surprisingly better than ones which are!

that is in the mag in front of me, whos the bird who used to own it?

[BlAck0ut]

Ive seen one in a recent mag that looks nice, just follows the contours of the body

[TJenkos]

aahhh how well you know some of us pooky!

I'm not so keen on the green one, if I was going to have one tho i'd go for one like bigbadboabs got on The Rab or the one in the pic that TJenkos posted! teehee

No....



a spoiler forces the back end of the car down, thus lifting weight of the front wheels, and minis being front wheel drive, this makes no sence what so ever, minis dont go side ways, they grip! and when they go then go. they just snapp, then your in a hedge, they are pointless, and makes you look like a chav and youle get all teh boy racers and rude boys etc wanting to race you, understated cars are the best! you would be better of gettign a front one to keep the front glued down, or both not a back one on its own though

[jimbo_edmondo]

So you've never been in a mini with the back end out miniman5?!
Are you going to MITP? I'll show you, lol

[Jammy]

A rear spoiler would creat downforce at the back which means the rear would grip more, but it wouldn't make the front lighter or lift the front wheels in anyway.

[Pooky]

For a rear wing to lift the front of the car it'd need to be MASSIVE like light aircraft size!



That's one way to beat the traffic i suppose!
