Chelsea's spoiler - "that was"....
I had to giggle...
Lets hope it gets fitted securely....

**Re force....
Remember poking you hand out of a window when we were kids, and at 50mph the force almost knocked your arm off...
The spoiler has a total area of approx. 4sqr feet... not 5inches like your hand.... then put 80mph behind it and then imagine that a 4ft wide kite can lift a grown man off the ground in a strong wind....

Food for thought...

And wind 'load' quadruples every time your speed doubles.  Time for aerospace glue?

I will assess the thing properly when it arrives but "Tiger Seal" is used by all the major manufacturers to bond panels on where appropriate.......
