best option might be to re-do the lower front bumper for something with a bit more of a angle to will bring air up and around. Its very flat and angled slightly inwards.

Remove the wing

Underpan any concaves surfaces under the chassis

And remember to post pictures :-)
The m3 bumper for this model is much more "Scoopy" as you suggest

I'd like to avoid wheelskirts for the moment as I want the car to be Stock outside- less likely to attract attention..

I was thinking more along the lines of an underbelly, rear wing removal and possibly a WAI

on the plus side, the first fill yeilded 39+ UK MPG

the second fill will be lower, but it did do 45 laps of a track flat out.. Still hoping for over 400 from that tank.
