So, I've got a new (old - very old) car
Hucho
and some aluminium composite board...
The old beast gets 20mpg(US) around town and 31mpg(us) on the motorway cruising at 70ish - I got used to high 40's MPG(US) with my old car so time to get modding.
I though a build thread may be better than individual parts builds as I did with my old car. I'm a grown-up now so progres is likely to be slower...
The board will be saved for an undertray project which I am not sure about beause (1) my car is RWD so has a driveshaft and diff to keep cool / clear; and (2) the exhaust is massive and hangs way lower than the rear bumper.
I have form building trays, so hopefully I can get it done and dialled in:

There's a good pic of the wake of the same model C-Class as mine in Hucho at pp.314
Tomorrow (when I'm not at work) I plan to complete some / all of the following:
(1) grille block (manually adjustable).
(2) air dam (as a sticking plaster before the tray build).
(3) R-wheel skirts - perhaps, Hucho says they are worth a measley less than 0.01 cD.
What I will probably end up doing iinstead is:
(1) building an MPGuino and identifying the car's connections.
(2) ripping my (OEM cassette) radio out and soldering an AUX input to the soudn processor chip.
(3) putting lots of snowboarding stickers on the car.
(4) trying to find some 15" pizza pans cheap - though the stock wheelcovers seem pretty flat.
Wish me luck....
