AlfaRomeo 159 HeadLight AeroDynamics.

Hi,

I Drive Alfa159 Diesel. And I'm reading what ever I found to reduce the fuel usage. I want to ask you our car has terrible Cd ( 0.33 ) As you can see from the pictures, there is a hole under the bonnet. And bonnet has a seal behind my fingers in the picture. Air is blowing the gap between bonnet & front bumper. It cannot move the bumper so it moves the bonnet up, and the bonnet start to shake even with 60mph. Also the lock mechanism is in the middle. I want to make the flow connect with upper stream. If I make holes to the bonnet. before the Bonnet Seal, it should help the flow merge with the upper stream, and don't blow in the headlight section. Or secondly, I could delete the back of the lamps, so the flow enters the engine section. And I make a manifold to collect the flow, and direct it to wheel arch or under the car or again a bonnet hole. Can you give me some advice. I could not cover the headlight with transparent plastics. In Turkey, we are not there yet. We use the most expensive fuel in the world, we get angry about it, but we cannot take action, I'm afraid.
Thank you.
