I made an unjustifiable purchase yesterday for a part that I don't need at all, and ignored several other performance parts that I really do need, but I had a severe moment of weakness....and bought the ADRO gooseneck spoiler....6-8 week wait......

Hell yea. I watched one of their videos early and was really impressed by the FL5 parts they've released. I know at some point I'll get sick of my stock wing leaking water and thats how I'll justify the purchase 🤣

The whole thing is not my cup of tea but I do like the wang and I do think Adro actually does test their aero, pretty sure they got some data for the FL5. Adro is quality, their are popular on the BMW world and known for quality parts.

The wing does not look crazy so probably ok without any front aero, I remember reading about spoon changing their rear swan neck to something smaller and lower because their first design was unbalancing the car too much

Yea same. I'd rather have a proper front splitter.
