Stock Wing Nascar Mod????

Don't know if this has been tried or what. The thought was to put a NASCAR style trailing edge on the stock Cooper S wing. I'm really having mixed feeling about this. Some angles it looks great others well maybe . Before I go and make one, I wanted to get your thoughts. What do you think??????

ill reserve my judgement on the wing, can you get a nice full body shot of it perhaps from the rear 3/4 view?

Very original like your Cooper S badging on the hatch and the checkered antenna.

"interesting"
What would you use & how would you attach it ?
I saw a stock wing that had triangular shaped hard rubber "bit" stuck to it.
The rubber was about 1.5 " and on the BLACK wing looked OK. Function ???
It may have been a garage door bit or weatherstrip.
It was in a parking lot and I even left a note...

I have toyed with removing the wing and making a spacer (about an inch)
At the roof angle it would move the wing up and back.
This could also be wedge shaped to change the overall angle.

I did speak to Peter from M7 and they are working on "something" and the word "adjustable" was used

A similar device used in open-wheel and sports car racing is called a "Gurney strip". Sounds so much better than the "N" word!
