Gurney flap (wickerbill) is small, then you get spoilers and then wings. Each function differently.

The turbo New Beetle had an active spoiler built into the top of the hatch. A wickerbill would be appropriate on it's trailing edge. It's kind of a spoiler on the spoiler.

A wing creates downforce, while a spoiler is basically a vortex generator.

You might want to review this thread: ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.php/aeromods-2001-vw-beetle-19668.html



Julian [banned] Edgar made a similar wing with transparent side plates, but he only has four other threads remaining so it must have been in some other thread. It might be in his Autospeed pages.
