In my todo for tonight I wanted to complete the sides of the roof extension, but thanks to your encouragements (and your 1108 mi tank that I have to beat) I created the half front wheel arches, pictures :
- Side :
I know that I have no talent to draw arcs or complex shapes, so... I just tapped a bigger piece first, moved the steering wheel to see where the tire was rubbing and draw two simple lines.
- Front :
I tried to take the picture with both right wheels aligned as I was doing in previous pictures. It adds frontal surface only at the lower part. I have the feeling, and hope 
that this frontal surface increase is canceled by a Cd decrease.
- Front side :
and this is the current status...
Drive tested it on 20 km (12 mi), included some city driving with quick turns, heard no noise and they have no trace of rubbing
