Here is the 'long-tail' VW 'Flow' body of 1981,with Cd 0.14.You can see that it's nose is nothing remarkable,although it does have a complete boat-tailed rear.

i've read that here but i am hard headed. i realize it won't make much if any diff on the front so i will focus on the rear. i have the template but am still overwhelmed at the thought of tackling that area.
i would like to see a real picture of a MK4 with some rear mods that work.
