Just wondering if there are any benefits from fitting a rear spoiler or are they just cosmetic?

I don't have one so can't say from experience, but these guys seem to think it's a no.

I've got one, purely cosmetic I would say. Rear window still gets covered in after 5 minutes. FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory |

With one fitted it was odd to see water drops falling from the trailing edge of the spoiler and falling straight down parallel to the rear window, even at normal B roads speed; it would suggest that there was little turbulence, but the rear window got dirty just the same!

I've got one and the rear window still gets covered in muck quickly. I just preferred the look of it. 12MY 61plate FL2 TD4 auto GS Orkney Grey Roof spoiler full size spare

Even my custom spoiler has no benefits well at least no water droplets run off it and onto my rear screen I guess
