My guess is not as it uses the standard fixing points…
They say about the standard wing flapping about but this must do it more?
Plans seem pretty well regarded but I just cant see how this can do what they say?

Without changing the mounting locations to a solic location like the rear space frame then i dont see how. Standard spoiler is bolted onto the rear lid and you can twist it side to side a good inch by hand without force. So as long as its still bolted to the rear lid then i cant see how it could work properly.
These do work. Both the Plans and Reverie versions do provide usable extra downforce. They might not be as stable as a chassis mounted wing, but they do still exert force down through the clam. Remember the area under the attachment points is the boot box and that is pretty rigid. Trick is to adjust the strikers to make sure that when the lid is shut there is as little movement as possible. That’s a worthwhile change even with the std wing.
I used to have the Reverie equivalent on my car. Same as the one Jonny Fox is using now, and it definitely settled the rear of the car through some of the higher speed stuff like Craners at Donny and Coppice at Cadwell.
I see the point about getting the mounts adjusted as I looked at fitting some firmer rubber to mine and playing with adjustment (the standard rubbers are really soft). However I find that when applying pressure on the spoiler that results in flex at the hinge and the lid starts to lift at the hinge side, I would be worried about that breaking. Unless of course that does not happen with air speed on the road?
Yes there will be some additional flex at the hinge, but we aren’t adding huge amounts of force. Its not like we are adding an extra 100kg. It gives about twice stock downforce with significantly less than twice the drag. I ran mine at 12 degrees which was quite aggressive and it was above 120, hundreds of times on track and above 135 a few times or an airfield without an problems. And certainly not any flapping of the tips.
For adjusting the shut on the hatch, its worth taking out the original strikers and getting some similar sized bolts, with 2 nuts on each to lock. Can then adjust the length appropriately. I just put the original rubbers over the top of the heads.
Take a look at these and you’ll get the idea:
Car being worked reasonably hard with the wing 
Cool thanks for the info
I have just had another look at mine and my strikers are pretty well adjusted, I think the problem is with the striker positions, they are too far forwards. When I push down on the spoiler there is no support under the actual spoiler brackets as these are directly over the boot opening and this allows the boot lid to flex and pivot on the strikers lifting the hinge.
The answer to me is in the boot seal, the rubber used is just a very soft hollow type seal and the lid floats on that with an air gap.
If that rubber was a much more solid type and the boot lid sat tight that would hugely reduce the flex as you would not be able to push down so hard in that area…
The problem is how hard can you go without creating a problem in shutting the boot lid?

I can vouch for the fact that Evo Ufo pushes his car “reasonably” hard !!!
Reasonably lol…took your advice and did just that Will after our chat during the Anglesey curry. However I do have the full aero package including splitter and spoiler but its becoming apparent to me that on high speed corners such as Craners and at Olton this week as a matter of fact that the car is very stable and I seem to gain an advantage over other cars…and in this case Lotus’s as I caught most I followed Tuesday on approach to Shell Oils! I rekon Damon will vouch for me here, second lap of his vid gives you an idea…everywhere else and he’s right on me. Lol should of ran harder but still looking the bollock number 3!
Same stand offs btw!
