So it means duck? What's the purpose, to shoo small migratory water fowl out of the path of the XA, simliar to the cow thing on the front of a train?
Surely its not to redirect air from directly hitting the tire?

Being French, it could have several functions, such as:
1. Create a wind noise which clears migratory waterfowl from the roads;
2. Cause down force in order to keep the front end down when speeds exceed 180 mph;
3. A place to display a white flag;
4. A curb feeler;
5. A wine rack;
Come on guys, we can figure this out!

I can't imagine these being universal. Wouldn't you need a wind tunnel to calibrate the angle at maximum speed for each specific application?

Oh their universal. A lot of companies sell them. Because most people aren't getting them for the " downforce " or " performce " thought even.... I'd imagine they get it for the looks...giving it maybe an aggressive look? Who knows

I think they look good dude, don't listen to people when they are acting like this. I also strongly suggest people say what they want but not thread jack his post for a comedy routune on his mod. It isnt very cool, and odds are you wouldnt want it to happen to you.

I think they look awesome on the xA. That is the first xA I've seen with them on. APR Performance makes them in CF, the APR canards are universal.
I might get them when I work on the exterior.
