Personally I think the wing seen in the OP's original post is a bit out of proportion for the Fiesta being too tall and the concave rear edge needs to be linear and straighten out...IMHO :)

I received my RS style spoiler today.
It will however take a little time to get it installed and painted.

I will look like this.
However my plan is to do a paint to match much like the Focus RS pictured above.

Dave, where did you find that wing?

I have been looking for a real wing solution, I could use more than that at the track so could test a Guerney flap on it to see if it helped but I could live with that on the street as well, so far I like it the best:)

I'm looking forward to seeing your car once it's on [thumb]
Yes, me too.

This one is not a simple as others but I do like the look much better.
It does require the use of a non-ST OE spoiler.
There are no install instructions provided however there are some photos on there web site.
They give you an idea of what to do but not exactly how to do it.

I now have the RS portion attached to the OE spoiler but it did take some changes in the way the mounting was suggested.
I have also found that the mounting points are not symmetrical so the exact measurements will be unique to each install.

I have spoken to my paint guy and will get it to him as soon as possible.

Sounds like a bit of a pain. Kudos for going through with it. It will be worth the effort.

Yes, I do believe the end result will be well worth it.

Dave, why not mold it while you're at it? I would look much more OEM.
That is being considered.
The only problem I can see with that is doing a two tone paint to look good.
