finally got around to doing some mods on the car. i wanted to add the grill block in the front of the grill but after some looking around and questions the majority said it doesn't make that much of a difference. it was easier putting it on the back. so far ive seen an improvement of between .3 to .45L / 100km. below are pics.
the grill inserts were easy to remove from the pumper to make my job easy. black coroplas was used throughout cable ties and some alu tape kept everything in place. excuse the dirt and bird crap but car sleeps outside in this dry dusty winter we get here.
back of grill
front of grill
i made an extra flap to deflect some air over a larger part of the radiator. wire poked through the coroplas and bent at a slit made sure it stays
final product
the side inserts had small gaps that i covered with tape for now. in future i want to use this as a ram air intake of some kind.
final product showing top and bottom grill blocks. the top grill block is only v 1.1 and is simply some carbon look vinyl stuck over it. i will improve it when time and motivation allows. also on long distance trips the number plate is easily movable so i can block even more if i need to.
a 45 degree shelving bracket gave me the perfect angle for a small circular mirror. the mirror here is folded back as far as it can go. done on both mirrors
a wheel spat to deflect some air around the side of the tires dont think too much gain here
