Default Fixed big wing GT Spoiler for R coupe, opinions wanted please

Hi guys,
I want your opinion and thoughts on these two fixed rear wing spoilers. The first one is from PIECHA. The second spoiler is the PROJECT 7 rear wing spoiler. Which of the two spoilers looks better and more aggressive.
It's obvious the Piecha spoiler mounts by the rear trunk lid edge points based on photo.
Regarding the Project 7 spoiler, can this spoiler be attached to the F Type coupe as the two cars rear end area is different. What are your thoughts guys. Thank you.

In my opinion, I think the fixed spoiler ruins the look of the car. But if I had to choose which one looked better, it would be the Piecha.

I'm also not fan of the fixed spoiler, although the P7 one looks better to me than the Piecha.

Don't particularly like either, but whichever one you choose would look better in body color rather than contrast black or carbon fibre.

I think the Piecha flows with the car better. Project 7 seems a bit off to me. Being stock on the actual P7 is one thing. I wouldn't go out of my way to have it on anything else though.

Default Piecha favoured so far ...

Thanks for your replies . yes, Piecha does appear to flow nicer with the back end of the F Type coupe .

I believe the original question was which rear wing looks better, not do you like rear wings. Some ppl like, some don't. At any rate, I actually think they both look good. Would base decision including cost factor, downforce data (unless it's just for looks), ease to attach, other intangibles. My 2 cents worth.

Hmmmm. Now what happens when the regular spoiler rises? Is it disabled prior to install of the fixed wing?

Which is why everyone has expressed an opinion on their preferred wing, regardless of whether they like the overall look or not.

Would be odd if each person were to pick a "favourite", without also stating that their actual preference was neither.

Agreed, so I will also state upfront that I think it will ruin the damn close to perfect lines of the coupe. But if I had to choose I would go for the project 7.

The two fixed spoilers you referred to look ok only because their lines are complimented by the diffuser which is not what you would already have on your coupe. So you may want to consider how these spoilers will look on your coupe sans the updated diffuser.

Also consider the SVR's spoiler - that may me more "appealing" on the coupe and may be a much easier fit. Also, the key in the SVR spoiler is that its much closer to the car (less air gap in between) and that helps with retaining the overall lines and presence of the car.

You will have to disable the existing deployable spoiler in the first place anyway.

Even the SVR spoiler looks out of place.

Tough call. But it may be that they all look better than the standard coupe spoiler, when it's deployed. When it isn't deployed, I think it looks best, i.e. no spoiler looks better than a fixed spoiler, IMO.

Default Wing spoiler paint color ...

Thanks for your replies guys. One other question for you, if the car is storm grey, should wing spoiler be same as the car or should it be painted gloss black to stand out a bit. By the way, I decided the PIECHA wing spoiler is the way to go for the R coupe. Thanks for your feedback.

Body color with the black "risers" looks nice (like the white pic you posted in the original post).

Also, I've seen at least one P7 with 2 tone. One color for the top of the spoiler (say body color), and the underside of the spoiler black. Something to consider.

I agree with 2015coupe. Body color to match with black risers would be the way I would go. Matching to the body allows it to still blend in as if it were stock. Personally, I don't like making mine look "aftermarket" so anything to make it look better but still factory-esque would get my vote.

They really need to do a better job closing the panel gap between the door and front fender on the SVR.
