Really sorry for ruining this... Before I install this beautiful wing, on a certain road, with my 1.3 I could go up to 208kmh (gps speed) in a slight downhill. So, after installing it, tried on the same road, under the same weather conditions, and wouldn't get more than 188kmh flat out. So in conclusion, it only adds drag and beauty points. No gains whatsoever (it only changes for the worse). My 0.02$

Interesting. I hope it doesn't adversely affect my gas mileage. I'm not a physicist but heard that drag increases exponentially with speed. I rarely exceed 120 km/h, so hopefully it won't have a significant impact on fuel economy. Right now - in winter - and according to my Torque Pro app - I am averaging 40.2 mpg (imperial).
