Until the deflectors from the Golf 8 appeared (to match PnP), I used BMW parts. They have a larger surface, more curved and capture the air better in the front.

Did you start with a stock part for your front arm covers (vwforum.ro/topic/135866-golf-7-imbunatatiri-aerodinamice-si-nvh-noise-vibration-and-harshness/?do=findComment&comment=3015589) or were they entirely custom made?

Also, any idea what the part number is for the "Rear axle cover with gurney spoilers" for the e-tron Sportback 55 quattro (vwforum.ro/topic/135866-golf-7-imbunatatiri-aerodinamice-si-nvh-noise-vibration-and-harshness/?do=findComment&comment=3016344)? Do you think that might work for the eGolf?

Fully customized. They are not perfectly bent, I did not have the patience to make a mold for bending the edges.

Please let me study a little.
Personally, I would build it manually, it will come out ten times cheaper.

By the way, from the e-tron model I would put something else on the face ...

It's a bit short, the back is part of the spoiler ...

Something interesting to read, which confirmed the changes made on the Golf 7 and Golf 8.

Great link. Thanks for posting it. Of course it should be even easier to cover from the axle back on the eGolf because there is no exhaust piping or exhaust heat to deal with on an all electric car.

This is what I did on my car. It is a diesel so I have not had much of a problem with the coroplast covering the exhaust. It has sagged slightly over more than 10 years since I installed it but some of that may be due to trapped snow/ice and water from winter driving.

Yeah, doesn't look as plug and play as I was hoping...
