Block the upper grille first. This will keep the engine warm and help the aerodynamics up front. Maybe put openable blocks on both grilles, like I did?

Next, rear wheel skirts.

If the rear spoiler can be easily detached/attached, then I'd do some testing with and without. If it hurts FE, then use the mounting points to attach a Kammback .
Hi Piwoslaw,

Sorry- the car is a 2.0 PETROL turbo
