improving aerodynamics with OEM parts

--- Quote from: Bernhard30 on August 29, 2011, 11:17:28 pm ---So I'm still a bit confused as to whether the two underfloor flanks are requiring the left and right sided "bodenverkleidung" from the original post on this topic and then you add the 1a and 1b parts on top.
Are these standard fit on Mk5 Gti's?
It looks like a good add on to me, along with the bigger under engine cover and rear parts, but wonder if others had fitted these? And if so what parts/numbers are these?
That said I'm no Adrian Newey regarding airflow..

The main under body panels down the side are the original ones on the car the 1a and 1b are extras they are called stone deflectors but get fitted to the bluemotion, the back end of the MK6 ones look like they are designed to be vortex generators that help to decrease flow separation, the Evo had these on the rear above the screen.
So to answer your question you need 1a 1b, you need the 2a 2b and the 4 as well as the front under-tray and all the associated fitting parts.
over the weekend on a trip to pembrokeshire and back I managed to do 380 miles on a tank with 20 range on the comp and that included a mix of driving and with a loaded up car and I still dont have the rear axle panel in place :party:
the bruce:
The 3.2 VR6 is known for it's temperature problem.
You see the R32 comes fitted with the 237 P as standard.
Bernhard30:
Good spot to notice the bigger under engine cover in that video.
That R32 was transformed into a right beast. If it was the same car...understood not one word of the clip.
Thanks for all posts that helped my recent confusion about parts, cheers guys.

Still on aero mods;
I'm trying to weigh up pros and cons of leaving the cup spoiler off for a change as the car is in for repair
After this http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,34223.msg417611.html#msg417611
It weighs a bit for what it is, what do you think if anything it's doing for me aerodynamically?
:happy2:
the bruce:
Hard to tell, but I guess if the gap between bumper and splitter is closed
there should be advantages in both (reduced) lift and drag and increased
air pressure to the intercooler/radiator assembly.
