LOL.

Actually, if it's added at the roof above (in front of) the rear window, it should provide some down-force. Getting the two curvatures to mesh might be an adventure, though.

Hi

If you just used the mechanism from the donor car and cut a roof section for the spoiler from another bug that would work.

make the spoiler with two hinged spots. A main hinge to lift off the body, then a 2nd hing near the trailing edge the just lips up slightly as to give just enough lip to spoil the air.... Sorta lik \______ but way less dramatic

I have in mind to install a rear spoiler from a Beetle, I have the mechanism (works with speed sensor) and the spoiler but I'm not sure how much help in the aerodynamic of the car.
