this was on a mini clubman. bt also visible on all newer ford suv's. audi's and some bmw's. the range rover evoque also has some. what difference can i expect modding my 2005 ford fiesta hatch like this?

Ah - good catch !
That's a perfect example of a 'trip strip' - thanks for posting .
I have seen similar on the tail lights of a Ford Fiesta / Focus, where there is a small ramp to detach the air before it goes turbulent.

Is that the legit term? "trip strip"?

It's a popular term around here. Basically just a sharp edge that enables clean separation instead of the air trying to wrap around the radius of the edge and create turbulence. MetroMPG made some nice ones for the back bumper of his Civic. I guess in a way it's like a miniature box cavity just like the little spoilers on most new cars are mini kamm backs. It's the designers adding little bits that still look good while performing a specific function.

I've also heard a 10 pack of LSD called the same thing. lol

These are actually a spoiler for wipers but could see them made to fit on a fender.

I was originally looking at these to get cleaner flow up to the roofline.

Neat idea Eddie! After seeing Metro's bumper ones I've been thinking of doing the same to my curved bumper but couldn't really think of a easy way to do it, I'll have to give the folder clips consideration.
