I think with rally cars as with all race cars "GO" is a little more important than "SHOW"

I don't think the performance effectivity of the wing itself was ever argued by her comment. She simply said it looks ugly, which is the truth. An opinion of an aesthetic apperance caused by an aerodynamically enhancing device. But don't let me ruin your fun, continue to enjoy. Babe don't come near me smelling like fish!!!   XL

What your failing to realize is that it is a REPLICA of a WRC RS Focus. So opinions of it looking better without a particular part are ignorant. No offense - but it would be the same as saying "....that McLaren F1 would look better if it had a roof and winsheild  "

A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

Race cars aren't engineered to look pretty...

Obviously! 
...But like you all say: If you are goling to post up pics, you can't expect everyone to have positive opinions. Yes I am sure that that car performs great, and that the spoiler is there to add to the performance...
I KNOW that looks don't matter when it comes to racecars... but that doesn't change the fact that I think the spoiler is ugly.
If you want to call me ignorant , go ahead  ... I am just trying to express my opinion like everyone else on this forum does
