Yes I really do.

In the darkest days in winter its only daylight between 09.00 AM to 15.00 PM. quite depressing.

Now its daylight between 06.00 AM to 21.00 PM and its getting longer =)

I had never been anywhere that far North in the winter and it was just very odd to have the sun show up at 9AM and depart by 3PM and the sun never got very high or very bright.

I have always liked the stock trunk lip spoiler thats standard overseas. Thanks for showing us it.

If you travel more north from I am living the sun dont come up at all in the darkest months.

Tanks, I like the "lip" alot too, was earlier thinking of buying MS wing but its little to rice I think?

Almost everyone has it this way in sweden and I havent heard any overheating problem. Its alot cooler here in Sweden

I also got RB Cold Air Duct so I cant mount it as it is stock.

What part of Sweden? Stockholm, Gothenburg?

Yeah, I think the MS wing is a bit too rice for me. But I'm sure you could get a pretty penny for your Mazda Euro spoiler if you ever decide to part with it.

I doubt you'd find much overheating problems in Sweden. You probably have to worry more about animals on rural roads.

Im living in Stenungsund (small town with ~20.000 people) about 40km from Gothenburg at the west coast of Sweden.

Even in the hottest days (~35 degress celcius) I dont have engine temp. getting hotter. But I dont drive my car att tracks or something like that either.
