A wing over an OEM spoiler is a pretty weird look, no?

I don't think it's an age thing, it whether the BGW is for show or go? Any road car with these can't help looking daft.

Not a fan of BGW and BMWChop together though?!?
:lol: you're just jealous of my boyish good looks.

Bgw for road is ok but not up high.

I have some apr risers if anyone wants them.....at cost obvs

I've got the same Spoon wing. I use it for track days then just unbolt it for the road so I don't look a cock.

The wing looks better further back on the boot lid. Also drilling a couple of extra holes in the mounts and angling it slightly back looks cool.

I removed my lower level spoiler.

Any problems with the boot lid deforming at high speed?

My APR wing did initially as I had the angle > 11 degrees. Now it set to approx 5 degrees (as suggested in manual) and seems to have settled down.
