Good luck! I've been trying to get Mr Doax into aero mods for years.

Aero mod it is! 
I've been planning this one for a while and have had the parts for weeks. I finally had some time to put it together.
I started a new thread for it here: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tro-32101.html

I had a new best commute in to work today with 78.4 mpg. Looks like the air dam is doing its job.
Actually, I can tell its doing its job. I have a lot of coasting opportunities on my commute and a few hills where I normally loose speed real slowly. I've pretty much stopped loosing speed on them now, or loose speed almost unnoticeably.
I'm down to roughly a quarter tank now and the SG shows I'm at 58.5 for the tank.

Nice!
I'm definitely adding one of these after I turn in the Micra in and get the Firefly back. |

I filled up for the first time in almost a month (yay). The SG was a little pessimistic, but pretty close. I got a very nice 59.7 mpg.

Nice. I'm calling that 60 mpg.
Put your #$*$& wheel covers on and it'll be 65 next time.  |

Don't need paint if they're going to serve as a mount for pizza pans or corplast discs.
I've repainted the firefly's (same wheelcover): light sand and spray with silver metallic touch-up paint, closest colour match by eye from the parts store.

Good point. I'll see if I have some coroplast laying around that I could make some covers out of.
