Project contiues in a way as for summer 2014 Lupo will get a 1.9 tdi with about 350 hp and target is to beat some standing mile records, I am hoping lupo will reach 300 km/h club. I am not doing the modifications I just gave the car for good purpose. I think speed freaks will start to think aeromodding serious option for more speed after next summer.
It is dangerous going so fast without airdam and rear spoiler (lip spoiler) inspired in NAscar.
Almost try to get lift 0 or below 0.
Your car will be unstabble at high speed if the wheight distribution with the Gravity centre in front and the pressure center in the rear. some lateral wind and the car will crahs.
maybe page from 50 to 55 are useful to tune the wings with a compromise between drag and lift: http://www.seat-sport.com/2013/cars/UMLeonMK2.pdf
You might need some active aero spoilers, that can retract at lower speeds. but i think your chopped roofline reduces life a little, i think.
EDIT: "lift" not "life" ....

No those are lupo original aluminium wheels (they do look like steelies). Wheel + tire 145/80R14 weight is now ~9 kg with 1mm thread depth left. So there is not much to lighten there.
I wanted those wheels even for my Mk3 but decided to not deal with getting them here to the US, so I decided to go with Miata wheels with a slightly modified CB (had to be increased a little)
