any comments about the FWS at the rear wheels?

[Chris D.]

Excellent work, i really like what you've done so far,
those front splitters turned out clean!

[fabrio.]

below is the rear look of wheel front deviator.



My eye, say than the air flow go over the arm (I hope it )

thank, but the work isnt' ended, and I attend council in order to improve all aerodynamic

I could not understand how to use the plastic waste basket shapes until I saw your pictures. At first I thought that the "coverage" of the front wheels was not enough. I thought it was too shallow because the commercial ones are a "flat rectangle". But, the longer I look at yours, the better I think they are. They are covering the suspension/linkage, so that is good. Aesthetically I think they are very good.

For the rear wheel FWS, I don't know. This is the first time I saw someone use the "flat vertical guide" behind the wheel. I think there should be something in front of the rear wheel leading the air to the rear FWS. Does that make sense?

Also, I think you should go find a Prius. Behind the rear wheel is a special shape. Imagine the hull of a toy plastic boat. Then turn it upside down and stick it behind the rear wheel. Here is what I mean :



Maybe this is why they call it a "boat tail", .

I appreciate your pictures because they are very detailed.

I do not have put the rear air deviator photos, but it is present at the rear wheel.

This below, currently active:





the FWS it anchor to the rear arm because, the arm strut it is exposed to air flow and can generate turbolent flow (with the wheel)

I have think to apply at the behind rear wheel the "boat tail", but the space it is very minimale ...look the rear bumper car

[fabrio.]

I putted other image

below, the rear tire spats



they are small, but in future, I will make more big (in height)



I have outlined the rear arm exposure at the airflow beaucause isnt' horizontal.





the FWS element under costrunction

I had thought next to the possibility to realize the "boat tail" in the behind of rear wheel, but I cannot apply them because small gap between the rear wheel and the ends of car.
In Italy, is prohibited to lenghten the car, the police is little tolerant in order to car modifications; also it is present aesthetic factor and the realizazion difficulties.
I do not know...perhaps, I will do something useful.

Prius car, is a good source of inspiration, but the EM users are more
