Post #7 assumes it is a factory wing, that maybe, but compared to the one I found near our local library it looks to be mounted higher (+1").

This VW Bug wing seems to have a few similarities to my own little experiment. I'd sure like to see a wind-tunnel of this to see how the gaps are contributing.

To my eyes, this is the nicest wing/spoiler for this year/model.
