That's one of the pages that came with a Kamei spoiler.
I've got that page and the rest of the pages here: Kamei spoiler documents Sadly, the quality is not much better. If somebody got these pages in better quality, please e-mail them to me! |
Love it. Now to clean my screeen,as I did a spit take.

Nice tidy looking spoiler. Not sure if it is a one-off or comercially made as I can't read Dutch :)

That's one I made :), here is a bigger picture of it:

I am planning to ship them overseas too. |
Does it slip under the seal or is it held on with double stick tape or something? I really like how subtle that is, was the shape designed with a specific angle or was that just the angle that was decided on visually?

There's a lip on it that slips under the seal. It's hold on pretty good with just that. But to be sure it won't fly off (and fly through the windshield of the car behind you..), you have to put a bit of sealant on the inside on the left and right. Just in de corner where the spoiler meets the window.
Here's a picture of two of them before installing: http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/107018.jpg The angle is aproxametly 12 degrees compared the rear windshield. I was told that anything above 12 degrees becomes an obstruction instead of an airflow guidance. |
When are we going to see some more of these for sale! ;)
|
and when can you Ship over to Canada... ;)
|
Us Brits first! Then we'll allow some to float over.

Sorry guys, the United Kingdom was the first on the list... :)
For everyone that's got an interest in aerodynamics, I strongly advise you to read this chapter of this book The Automotive Chassis: System design, chapter AN OVERVIEW OF VEHICLE AERODYNAMICS Skip over the formulas! I've read it and it was an eye opener, it's really great. |
Want to get A few for Singapore!:)
|
Sorry guys, I'm still not producing them in bulk. I am creating them by hand, so no big production numbers.
I did do a wool tuft test, with and without the spoiler. See this article on my webpage: VW beetle wool tuft test A "spoiler" picture... :lmao: : http://www.gerrelt.nl/roofspoiler/wo...r_100kmh_2.jpg |
Read the page, very interesting effects. The one thing I wish you had done, though, is some more tufts right near the vents at the bottom of the window. It would be very interesting to see how the spoiler effects the intake to the engine bay area.
Hmmm....ship some spoilers to Canada and we'll test for you? ;-) -Dave |
Good effort Gerrelt - working even at "low" speed. I'm impressed :)
