They are actually banned to protect dumb arse ricers from looking any more ridiculous than they have to!

Those things just look dangerous, and the are rightfully banned, anything which is likely to increase the injuries sustained by a pedestrian in a collision should be banned.

I could be wrong but are canards really to provide downforce? I thought the purpose of them was to keep air flowing nicely so that spoilers can do the trick. In the case of front bumber canards this would be to direct airflow away from the wheels preventing turbulant air being passed to the rear spoiler.

Also surely if they were going to provide enough down force to be effective then simply screwing them to the panels would simply bend the panel unless there is some sort of structual modification made on the inside.

Either way highly unlikely to be effective unless fitted in an air tunnel.
