Hi folks đź‘‹
I started off this journey in the previous part, now this is the finished product - this upgrade is officially complete
In this part, I'll focus on pictures of car side skirts + front bumper, as other changes are covered in the previous topic

The only "downside" to this is aux radiators can't be retrofitted because of windscreen washer fluid reservoir (driver's side) and parking heater / webasto (passenger side)
To me it's not a downside because oil temps are down at least 15-20°C on average
Before after a 2hr aggressive backroad sessiom it went up to 122-123° (highest I saw)
Now no matter what I do it's not gone over 109°C, often it hovers aroud 97-98
I know some will say that aerodynamics is impacted by having two gaping holes without directed airflow, but in my personal experience I've not noticed anything drastic to be fully honest, so I'd say that increase is negligible enough that it warrants no concern.
And, besides, whoever goes for somethinf like this surely doesn't care about a drop in fuel economy
Let me know your thoughts / questions, I'll gladly answer any you have
Bonus point: Here's a POV drive with this car in finalized state
