Next step:
Designing/building front wheel skirts v.1.0 (Geo Metro))
Basjoos, you're going to have company soon!
FYI, two EM members that I know of have installed front skirts: see

No video yet. I'll post it tomorrow probably when I've got the "skirt on" (cardboard) footage.
But a few screen grabs of the stock situation to whet your appetite:
0 km/h:
60 km/h:
The video pretty much shows what you'd expect to see (detached flow in the first 2-3 rows aft of the wheel well, and noticeable wiggling in the tufts the rest of the way back).
What will be interesting to see is how much calmer those rear-most tufts will be with the skirts on.
You should see the camera rig I set up to capture this stuff.
