Hmmm... I doubt that the best wife of all will be d'accord with the optical impression of this method. Did I mention that the mods have to be wife-compatible?
I think I'll go for the smoked acryl / edge trim solution. But who has the time?
Concerning the upper grill block, I did some evaluations:
In numbers, on the commute to work, I get an additional 4,9 mpg; on the trip from work, it seems to yield 3,7 mpg (both compared all data before and after modification). It may even be a bit more since the weather has gotten colder which should normally hurt FE.
The last value would have been better, but the diesel particle filter (dpf) regeneration kicked in on the first 40 km of the trip which substracts a penalty from FE of about 5 mpg (0,5 L/100km). I would never have known without the SG :-)
so long,
