While on the topic of front wheel skirting, I don't recall eve seeing anyone hear address the problem by narrowing the front track enough to allow fixed skirts.

I realize this is a fairly complex task, particularly with FWD. has anyone done it?
it be difficult with any front engine car because how most suspensions are set up, its easier just to throw a front wheel arch gap filler in and be done the next step would by the front skirt where it only touches on corners when the wheel leaves the pocket it was given
