Today i did my first aero mods. It's really nothing compared with some of the cars here but i'm going slow to see if i notice some changes in the car's behaviour.

I started to apply these little flaps underneath the car to divert the air going to the rear suspension and especially to the rear bumper which is an authenthic parachute.






I didn't want to drill extra holes in the car so i had to make the best with the already existing ones and help with zip ties. It's pretty sturdy as is, surprisingly.

Next step was the spoilers in front of the front wheels. I used the ones from the E83 BMW X3 because they were the cheapest ones and once again i was able to fit them using existing screws that hold the bumper and the wheel well cover.





But i have a question though. They weren't quite in front and parallel to the wheel as i would like, but i still think it will help to divert the air from the wheel. What do you think? Should i change its position to get a better result?
