lol, I think the OP disappeared around this time last year looking at the OP. But as it's been revived, I seem to remember guys doing this with the RS Escort when they came out, plus I've seen time trailers remove them because they reduce top end mph on the flat out parts.
Each to their own, but if done right with a smaller replacement spoiler I bet it still looks good.
Think you might struggle with the insurance. Honda state it is a functional devise not a styling item, as such by removing it you affect the stability and handling of the car. Its removal could be deemed to contribute to any accident which results from you loosing control of the vehicle.
The spoiler is fundamental to the stability of the car. Having had a Type R up to 160+mph and a Golf R up to the same speed (on a test track) I can assure you that spoiler works. Type R was stable and predictable....the Golf.....I had to change my pants!!! If you are in the habit of doing some very fast road driving (and we're all guilty of that at some point) then take it off at your peril. Even the small 'winglets' across the top of the tailgate have a big effect on the turbulence and air flow over the rear spoiler.
Based on your lack of knowing the difference between your and you're, the unnecessary insults to long term members, and simple strange use of language, I think you're confusing your 1.2 Limited Edition Corsa with a Type R....
