I saw one the other day and it struck me how rubbish it looked.
It's 2014, not 1984. The designers spend goodness knows how long perfecting those lines. It's just useless form with no function.

Mmmmmm that does look crap but its not the one I have seen
The one I have been looking at is by Tese Designs and is more subtle

There's a reason that they're called 'spoilers'.

They spoil a perfectly good, classy design IMHO.
