The shape/idea of that bumb VW copied from mk8 Golf which is with a lot less ground clearance. ID3 ground clearance is so high that there is way too much visible tire at the front. Thats why you get better results if you install extra flaps there. Because the air vents seem to be fake it just tells that they have released the car in a hurry. You just copy things here and there and dont think what else have changed in the car compared to other models where you copy things.

I have now put the heigth to 80mm, but the taller tires will raise the car little bit more.
