Hi Basjoos,

So the skirts look like this from the end view (dashes on the left are needed to get the skirts inside the outer edge on this page)?:

Would something like this be better (connect the side skirts to the sides and the middle skirts to each other)?:

The side of the car would connect to the side skirts with one smoothe curve rather than have the side end and the skirt sticking out.

Connecting the sides to the skirts and to each other would increase the frontal area a little but there might be less turbulence.

Best Wishes ,

Mitch
