First tank i done and the consuption was the same with the new bellypan. However the tanks average speed was higher because new 40 kilometers long highway got opened. The fillup was 48 litres and distance was 677.2946 miles or 1090 kilometers that is i think 53.4 mpg.

After that tank i got my right side mirror finished and installed. It took me 3 hours Pictures are coming...
I also put one more bracket to each rear wheel skirt to get the panels enough fastened. That took half an hour each
Also front tire deflectors are in place, and the last this weeks mod is new front wheel hub cabs. Painted in matt black after that photo.

New sidemirror is about 1/3 of the originals size, about same as the original mirror folded.

Next weeks mods in turn will be the other side mirror, rear wheel hubcabs and maybe I will modify the front wheel mudflaps for more aerodynamical look
