A spoiler is an automotive aerodynamic device whose intended design function is to 'spoil' unfavorable air movement across a body of a vehicle in motion. Spoilers on the front of a vehicle are often called air dams, because in addition to directing air flow they also reduce the amount of air flowing underneath the vehicle which reduces aerodynamic lift. Spoilers are often fitted to race and high-performance sports cars, although they have become common on passenger vehicles as well. Some spoilers are added to cars primarily for styling purposes and have either little aerodynamic benefit or even make the aerodynamics worse.
Spoilers for cars are often incorrectly confused with, or the term used interchangeably with, wings. Automotive wings are devices whose intended design is to generate downforce as air passes around them, not simply disrupt existing airflow patterns.

Gotta love how you emphasized on me being a mister.
Thing is, your german website wrote their article on November 15th, whereas eGarage wrote theirs on November 14th. So technically, I can only presume those pictures were TAKEN from eGarage (I admit the word "stolen" might be excessive considering they didn't put a watermark). Trust me, I always check my shit.
Still, wherever those pictures come from, posting a Facebook link to two photos as a forum thread, without even trying to write a little something (such as translating the article of your source, maybe?).... and doing it multiple times... That's not cool. Just pointing out I don't like it.
With all due respect.
