2) Factory spoiler does NOT qualify as body work: This would allow the plexi-glass spoiler to only extend 10" off the trunk lid

I don't have a picture handy but I'll have one mid next week. It looks ridiculous but will only be on for autoxes
If the 10" is measured from the trunk lid * (which is correct to me) , the factory spoiler when activated is approx 4" high .
So if you fit the maximum allowed 10" rear spoiler onto the motorized spoiler it will pass scrutineering , but will be 14" tall when you press the button or it is speed-activated thus making it illegal




* IMHO , bodywork is classed as "model silhouette" when static .
The factory spoiler extends from that silhouette electronically but still stays with the 10" rule so is immaterial .
If it was hieght of any moving part imagine the fun you could have with the higher classes spoiler that cannot be above the roofline ...... The boxster roof goes up a good few inches when opening and closing
