Mode Carbon Bootlid spoiler review with some pictures

I decided to pull the trigger on the Mode Carbon bootlid spoiler. Dealing with them was a breeze and correspondence was efficient and fast.
The spoiler came well packaged and it would take a natural disaster to damage the wing.
Fitment was a walk in the park and required three people to fit. Two to distance the wing perfectly on the sides of the boot and one to give the final push in the center. This we found was the easiest and glueing it on with the double sided 3m tape provided. Once the wing was on it was perfect fitment with no funny lines either at the top edge or the bottom edge of the spoiler. The weave of the carbon fibre is impeccable.
Couple of pics:

Its still on stock P30 suspension. Addressing that next with KW DCC, tint and black out and can consider the car done.

With the stock wing it just feels like the bumper sticks out too much from all angles. The Mode Carbon wing finishes it off perfectly. I had concerns that it was even too small but it turned out a perfect finish.

Please upgrade the tail lights, that's the only thing 'wrong' with your car.

There is a problem with the front spoiler causing lift at high speeds (300km+). the angle of the lower section is out and lowering the nose half a inch will solve it so will bring the rear down half a inch and the front a inch if the space in the front arch will allow it. I also need to minimize suspension travel in the rear for maximum traction.

I havent managed to get a clean dyno run. If you look at the pictures the body shop forgot to install the opening for the tow hitch so we cannot strap the car down properly especially on the 20's At 4800rpm it passes 500whp just before spinning on the low boost pulley. I am yet to do the race fuel system to try out the high boost pulley but should be doing so soon. There is a hub dyno locally so once I am sorted will get readings although I am not a big fan of dyno numbers.
Its a built motor with the Weistec heads.
