Removed the hubcaps and rear wheel skirts because they were build with cardboard. Since I have bought some flatter hubcaps and I have in my todo to close their holes.

Removed the front grill block as I had a leak near the water pump and the engine was overheating.

I do want to put some front grill block and rear wheel skirts back, build in coroplast, but it's too cold outside and day is too short by now...
As the front is very flat, I think I'll try to make the front grill block convex to lower the high pressure zone in front of the grill. I'll also try a upper grill block, but currently I don't see how to fix it without fixing it at both hood and bumper.
