Did you put a front air dam on it? Looks like factory has plastic engine guard that would just compress air under the car

I was looking at my beetle and thinking about the gurney flap, almost looks like the fenders could use one each.

Wouldnt a little flap at back of hood help move the air up and over the wipers?
Zoom in on the image.

Looks like this is a true spoiler in that it may create a vortex that pulls air above it down, thereby creating down-force and air pressure recovery.

You could get by with this alone before investing more time and money.

Commercially made one here:

You might want to DIY something yourself at that price.

EDIT: Even more $$$
