I really  have my doubts about the ability of that bit of plastic to

Spoilers on production cars very rarely produce  downforce.  By redirecting 
the airflow they reduce lift a bit though and  the effects can be noticeable.  
Not having tried it personally on a  Spitfire I can't speak to that specific 
case though.
