That's what I intend to do, smaller mods. I drive a Rover 200RF "bubble shape" 1.4l. A small kammback, wheel covers and grill-block is what I'm thinking of. I was planning an EV conversion, but will probably cost me a great part ot the price of conversion to make it legal (including eventual bribes) so I'm postponing it.

That's right, there should be rules, but at least in my country the bureaucracy takes over and one just gives up. I guess in Poland it may be OK to just drive with the removable aeromods and I hope you'll find how to register them and make them legal and stay untroubled on the road. In Bulgaria we still have problems with police corruption and bribes on the road (I haven't been giving any and I don't intend to, but the problem exists). So it's really sad to have the enthusiasm and knowledge to make the car run better, use less fuel and even be safer to drive and then one day to face the question "So-o-o what are we gonna do 'bout it?" (the "secret" keyword for "I want some money in cash or you'll have problems")...

But enough about me -- keep us posted if (when) you have success with legalizing your mods
