Grip

Probably a silly question... but i dont think its been asked before!

I am soon to have my small saloon spoiler taken off and will be putting on the larger extreme saloon spoiler on... will it make any difference to front wheel grip?

The big spoiler is about 40KG @ 70MPH IIRC... Not sure about the wee one.

Doubt you'd see any noticable difference.
