worthwhile changes? (spoiler / bumper)

Im slowly getting a grip on the whole aerodynamics basics, although just when something makes sense you bring in other considerations and it all gets very confusing again haha.

Anyhow, looking for basic improvements to the car, Im considering options that came stock, and Id hope youll be able to help say "better!" or "worse!"

First up, rear lip spoiler......

Stock car (actual vehicle)...


EDIT: Better view of rear WITHOUT spoiler


SRi Lip spoiler (hard to find pictures of on the net)


As you can see its very subtle, just a small additional flick and extension outwards. From what Ive read, the Lip Spoiler could well be an improvement?
If it helps I *think* (measured in photoshop) that the rear hatch angle is around 20 degrees

Second up, Front Bumper...

Stock


GSi


Obviously both would be grille blocked

(I already have a grille block / rear wheel covers / etc planned, these are for future additions, and at present Im just trying to get some form of FE baseline before I get all excited and start modifying )

I know they are not great pictures... but best I can find

Thanks for your input

Mark
