Vorsteiner Aero Wing Blade

It's not a functional aero part. Just cosmetic.

If you want something more aggressive than the stock GTS wing, I would look into the GT4 wing or (as suggested above) the M235i uprights and endplates.

The Vorsteiner wing creates lift at speed, so if you track your car, probably not advisable. Otherwise, knock yourself out. The stock GTS uprights also require a good bit of mounting hardware as well, since they are actually designed to take aero loads.

This is so interesting. So it's just for looks?

Seems silly To replace a mildly functional aero piece with a dysfunctional one 😂

All of the Vorsteiner aero parts are merely for looks. The blade, sideskirts, etc. Just pretty carbon fiber, not wind tunnel tested/CFD modeled.

If you ever see the GTS-V "wing" in person, you can see that it's not a wing at all. No end plates, inconsistent non-airfoil "wing" profile, etc.

If you want to keep it stock-ish and actually increase downforce, using the M235iR uprights and endplates plus a ~1cm Gurney flap will give you the most rear downforce. But then the front will require additional downforce to balance, otherwise the car will understeer. So you'd need to mount something like the GT4 splitter + dive planes.

And really, it's all pretty negligible unless you are going 120mph+.
