Oh that made me smile :mrgreen:

The TDi badge on the boot as well.......

and it was only a cdt (according to the torpedoes)

TDi (where the Di is red) means performance diesel. nowt performance about that :lol:

but in responce to pauls comment about aerodynamics, if said spoiler on said corsa is creating lift, it is reducing the thoeretical weight of the car and therefore increacing the cars power to weight ratio, and thus increacing the top speed...

do i detect a hint of sacrasm again

That would be the right one for the job, although having a spoiler on a front wheel drive car is a bit of a waste of time, apart from being aesthetically pleasing.

The ZT spoiler you have installed looks very good on 75s

Actually, just a small correction

Spoilers (as opposed to wings) serve a different purpose. They are meant to "spoil" the airflow over the rear and thus disrupt, or fill in, the low air pressure area that builds up at the rear of the car. So is just as useful on FWD as RWD. A wing on the other hand, forces the rear down to provide more grip on the driving (rear) wheels, as in F1 cars.
Believe it or not a triangle traveling flat end first has a lower drag co efficient than when it travels point first, due to the low air pressure created at the rear.

The one on my Escort diesel guarantees that the hatchback shuts properly everytime.
The one on the ZT is there for the performance :gmc:

Oh that is dreadful (the green car)
