I had a similar question some time ago : http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ces-21242.html
By the way, look at the " fences " used around the Shelby Daytonas' windshield.
( The small piece just above the mirrors - you can see them better at 0:46 in the video )
Sounds like a popcorn maker too me when at idle.

Already thanks for all your input. I may of may not try it. It was just an idea floating around. And in my mind the ford ka isnt made for aero. So there would be much to win

Now i see these cars. There are alot of cars that have such fences. Peugeot's and citroen's have thos alot. Also some fords and more. but will it be for aero or not. Those would be doable to make and test. Take a 40mm pvc sewage pipe and cut them lengtways and put them on. Make it flush with tape and test it

The nice thing about testing these is you can tuft the area and watch it as you drive (unlike things out back).

That might work in the rain, but I question whether it would work in snow.

A-pillars
Whatever the reason for the 'new' design,it looks like they're a hazard to pedestrians.
Here's a link to a safety concept

The 2015 Leaf (and maybe other years?) also have these deep recesses in the 'A' pillars.

Maybe it is just a way to get bigger A-Pillars without creating too much of a blind angle ?
We have those kinds of issues on cars ...
