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.

Hugo, you must be a brother from another mother. I've been looking for that crashed up New Beetle rear door for a while now, but nobody seems to be crashing them around here. My plan was to make a Lexan rear window that is the same as a normal one but the top 1/4 cut out, and place the New Beetle one in there instead. Let us know what you come up with!
