yeah my oem wing fell off, more so rusted out of the makeshift mounts that the last idiot put on this car, money is limited...should i:
a) get the same wing remounted properly?
b) get the holes filled and painted, go for the sleek look like the 325/328?
c) get a nicer spoiler (not a ricer spoiler) im thinking along the lines of either oem m3, or that 2 level spoiler, with the lip spoiler and another wing over it about 2 inches above

sorry i dont have pics, but hope you can imagine:dunno:

Don't worry, the spoiler doesn't make you go any faster. Actually the hole theory of the spoiler is to create downforce, and therefore make you go slower. Also for random people that attatch them to their car, it will really slow them down because it adds weight, and also the size they use are for cars that go about 220 MPH, so they aren't even needed!

no, just shave it. Youre better off without a spoiler for that car.

err fully aware man, i just care about those holes, and a little bit about how my car looks, i mean the front air dam and splitters on body kits dont particularly work on the streets either but people still buy em to look nice (a little ricey in theory but hell...its true)

yeah i would shave it off, but what do you want more, speed or look?>?>? If it is look and you don't care if it adds on a sec or two on your time, then remount it properly or if your really looking for some nice spoilers there is lots to choose from. You drive a 92 bmw, this one is pretty good looking spoiler for that model, cept its pretty costy at $330 and I think it might be US. If you want the web site to it its. Good luck man

that spoiler on a BMW.. YUCK! but thats my opinion. If it were mine id go wingless or m3 style.

No man, that spoiler is cool, if by chance he happens to be doing 250mph, that thing will hold him to the road really well. Otherwise it heavy and ugly. But he'll be glad he has it when he does acheive 250 mph.

i am pretty sure it would not work at all, at any speed......most spoilers that are oem/aftermarket are not made to work at all, but merely for the looks.....

the only real spoilers are the ones that actually have to upside down airplane wing shape, typically custom made for race cars.....

post a pic of the different ones than i can give an opinion.
shaved look is pretty nice i would think on a bmw, but a very small sleek one would look good too.
