Most women (there are exeptions) just don't get cossies with whale tails and the like, she's just a woman at the end of the day, IMO its the best spoiler ever created (strictly on a cossie though).

I'm upstairs resting while mrs dojj is ironing downstairs, she's then going to wash the dishes and after that shell complain I'm asleep and she has to get up in the mornig as well.

But she knows nothing about cars either and wanted to buy a new one because "I'm sure you can afford a nice new car, I'll have one of them" so she got a 10 year old fiesta and was going to be happy with it.

Or else

Yes but most blokes, leave alone woman, don't understand that the spolier has a very IMPORTANT purpose, looks are just an additional benefit

The Escort was actually avaliable without the wing but it cost extra NOT to do so!

some cars i think look better without the standard wing.. escorts for example, 3 dr's look best with them though...

I like the look of evo 7-9's without them lol

i do think it still looks nice but if your as inexperienced as me with identifiying fords you could mistake it for a RS2000 but the lower height and fatter body gives it away
