I'm curious what TÜV would say.
I think it would make more sense to direct the air sideways around the tire instead of mainly under it.
Basicly creating somewhat of a streamline fairing for the leading edge of the tire.

TÜV would ask for a Materialgutachten and Einzelabnahme or not norice if it looks OEM-enough.
