Has anyone seen this forward side spoiler? Cool or not?

I can't argue with that distinction. Of course, John Barnard built for Jim Hall what was essentially a Lotus 79 for Indy and won with it. Sort of going full circle in a way.

No one has mentioned the vents in the bonnet?  I personally don’t like any water coming into car in the area above my legs.

Neither did Lotus.

They even put a rubber thingy where the front plenum chamber cover lock goes into a metal keep by the centre of the windscreen, to stop water dripping in there.

Most windscreens leak though.

If the part added to the car doesn’t have a purpose I’m not a fan of adding anything. My track Exige S car’s had lots of aero, all very functional. Making your car look like a “racer” is not my thing. By the way, that wing would have no functional purpose at all except as an air brake and slow you down.

Corvettes use this spoiler for racing and street . Mine looks and may be functional however I don’t feel any difference and don’t notice any fuel savings.

Of course a lot depends on how fast you're going and how sensitive you are. Chevy claimed the little "duck tail" of the Mako Shark Vette (don't know the C#) actually produced downforce at 100mph. If it actually did, I very much doubt anybody could tell because it couldn't have been much.
