improving aerodynamics with OEM parts
the bruce:
Thanks, Alex, for the information. :happy2:
Laurent, I had the same doubts like you for a long time and so
I fitted the engine bay panel last. When I started this mod more
than two years ago I first wanted to reduce the lift at the rear.
Then I have seen that the A3 3.2 has the same panel from factory
(and probably the R32 as well). So does Audi on all TT including
TT-S and TT-RS (a different one but similar completely closed).
Furthermore I talked with Benny at Raeder Motorsport and he
told me they use it on their A3 TFSI as well.
The Leon Supercopa and the very familar Scirocco GT24 even
have a completely closed and flat underbottom from front to rear.
Last, not least:
The air entering from front radiators now has only a few definated
ways to leave the engine bay passing the turbo charger to the
center tunnel.
I'd presume there will pass very few air to the wheel fenders because
there should be a high pressure area.

Thanks guys!!
I was wondering but I feel reassured thanks to your further explanations and experiences. I missed those points.
I will go today to order 4, 3 (i don't know if it will fit because of my Resonated Milltek) and the undertray.
But about undertray, I don't know which one to order as ther is many of them.
Do you know if lastest S3 have also theis long undertray?
laurent.d:
Ok I just found out on ETKA that 1K0 825 237 P is the same ref for 3.2 A3 so A3/golf have the same shape.
May be it's what you mentioned but I didn't get it.
the bruce:
Right. It's the same. Only TT is different.
Another thing:
The inner plastic fender is different Golf and A3 as you may know.
The Golf's one has brake ventilation, the A3's not.
I have cut '3' a little bit to fit the stock center muffler, but with the
smaller Supersprint I have now it would have fit without any
modification. I guess the Milltek res. is more like OEM in it's shape.
laurent.d:
The Bruce does 1K0 825 235 AB is the same. I found your german Scirocco thread I understood it is what you mention but I'm not sure I get it right.
