Anybody deal with Ford Fiestas? 2012 model.

I'm trying to find the name of the air diverter that goes in front of the back wheels. I was not able to buy the sfe model with the aero mods. Hoping I can buy the air diverter and install it on my car with ease.

Just did an internet search on those part numbers. Looks like they mount to the inner fender. The inner fender on the 2012 Fiesta at the front of the rear wheel well is fabric don't see any alternate factory mount location either. If you find the do indeed work post back I'd be interested in knowing.

I got an email back from them, they said that there are different options and didn't have a solid answer for me, maybe think about using coroplast to make some or lawn edging

Thanks. I'll have to look at it closer. Liner is fabric and I don't see how those would mount. Also read they might have aerodynamic wheel covers. Can't wait to see what I can find.

Thanks.

Going to look at all the links and try to see if some of the body parts would be easily made. I'm also hoping to try the Denso TT iridum plugs. They made a difference on my 2007 Honda pilot I had. Just not sure if they are any good on a ford. I just wish I could find a good picture of the front grill with the air blockers so I might figure out how to make one myself. Hope to go by Ford dealer sometime soon and see if they have one in stock that I can look at.

Thanks.

Trying not to break the bank doing mods and I hope to get mpg up a little. Just found out that alternator is going down hill. Wishing a new alternator would boost mpg lol. Lights have been dimming for weeks and now radio dims like I have an amp hooked up.
