Re: Winged or Bald?

I don't like the big wing on the '56.. it's too curvy. I'd have a flat plank of a spoiler, with end-plates, supported on 2 centrally mounted struts, like the DTM stuff.

Re: Winged or Bald?

Gotta be bald. That wing looks ridiculous and ruins the clean lines of the 156. The designers must have been in a hurry to get to the pub when they penned that!!

Re: Winged or Bald?

Only the 156 could look this cool with a massive wing!

Winged is better, but not a silver one

I'd like to see the blue one with the wing instead. Who's the bloke holding the house up ?

Winged, but with skirts and teledials too.

Baldy ones are too anonymous in a crowd

Re: Winged or Bald?

Bit late on this one. And i am a little biased on the subject, but without a doubt, definately bald. Far cooler without. (and less drag).

Please............no pram handles.

Low level spoiler looks fine, but not those monstrosities.
