  • splash guard on or off for winter

    Opinions please.
    Should I put it back on for the snow or should I just leave it off?

      No snow where i am yet but im gunna put mine back on soon. When you drive through a puddle it must chuck a fair amount of water inwards towards the engine plus the dirt that comes with it.*

        The splash guard also decreases drag, as the uncovered underside of the engine is horrible from an aerodynamic standpoint. It weighs approx. 2kg, but the decrease in drag will more than make up for that. I should go out and test where the performance graphs (drag vs. speed) cross, but there is too much salt on the roads these days.

              Had it off as I had done some work on a custom setup on the diesel. Checking for leaks etc.
