Hi
have sorted out a mk 1 version of airdam. dosent look to bad. altered slope of grill cover. when passenger wiper fell off at 50mph it just sat on bonnet and never moved. leads me to think there is now an area of static air in front of windscreen. done some temperory wheel arch covers and fitted wheel trims to rear wheels. also altered maf spring to lean out a factory set very rich fuel mix. cannot give an accurate mpg due to coil wire playing up and servre weather conditions. last week 143mph winds now chill factor is diwn to -10c. so cannot replicate journeys with any consistency. what i can tell is my dolphin is a lot less twitcy in a cross wind. even if mpg does not improve the whole driving experirnce is more pleasent.
