Hi, thanks for your useful input!

As euromodder alludes to, the touring roofline is basically flat, and provides carrying capacity I find useful

therefore I tried to line up the template to retain the space, but look at how the template would indicate possible rear treatment for better aero..does that make sense?

Here's another photo, I'd be interested to see where you'd position the template- please have a go

I have the undertray off an e46 at my unit that I can butcher a bit to make it fit..

I wouldnt be deleting the miirors, jsut trying to reduce the frontal area a touch.

I'm hearing you re the " reversible"- the upper grills pull out easily-so even when blocked, I can clear them quickly
