Aero Kit aerodynamic properties

Alreet guys,

Just wondering if anyone out there knows if the JCW Aero Kit has actually any aerodynamic properties at all?

However in the JCW brochure it does say that the kit does improve handling at high speeds and in fast corners.........by how much is anyones guess!

These Kits regardless only really make any noticeable difference when your at speed as the high air pressure is needed to get the kits to start forcing the car down and so sticking it to the road more! Most of the time its just for the pure sexiness of how they look

But they do make a difference at higher sppeds! in my old car there is a stretch of road that if i went round at 60 the car felt a lil twitchy but if i went round at 70 the car felt more grounded owing to the lotus developed bodykit and spoiler on it! Good times!

Having done some very high speeds in Germany over 130mph on the autobahn before and after having had my Aero Kit fitted i am certain the car is more balanced and better planted on the road with the kit than without.
