not if you pick up another boot in the same colour then you can have the car with or without a spoiler

Hi all, if you really want one then just GO for it, here's a couple of pics showing my zed with two different rear spoilers. The zs one came off a 75 along with the boot and that looks better then the OEM spoiler

Wrong. Did you not understand my post.

Strangely enough I saw an 04 75 in Llandudno yesterday fitted with a ZT spoiler and MG wheels.

Didn't look too bad but it was no ZT, just didn't have the aggressive stance.

Anyway fit what you want matey it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If you like it do it.
It wouldn't do for us all to be the same. Just watch out for all the snobbish remarks from your fellow 75 owners.

This should, in theory, give better fuel economy, but probably doesn't. This works whether FWD or RWD. A wing is there to create downforce and obviously only works on a RWD car.
In a way the the wing on a F1 car changes from a wing to a spoiler when the DRA is activated.

Sorry to revive a 3 week old thread but I'm glad I found this. I've been arguing with my mate all week about spoilers - he thought
a it was there just to give extra downforce but I remember being taught that it "interupts" the airflow to stop it creating a vortex at the back of the car.

not wrong the spoilers job is to spoil the air flow and help keep the back end forced down A spoiler, as the name implies, spoils lift. the car will crate drag ,the purpose of the spoiler is to reduce this drag ,so with a spoiler fitted less fuel ind energy is use for the same performance,which come to think of it is why my mpg is a little up on most 75 18t owners ..

thats why i fitted one to mine ,the look before just made the car look unfinished and bare ... when i see another 75 driving along that hasnt got a rear spoiler it looks like its missing something
