Has anybody fitted a smooth grill to replace the normal grill to the front of an Aircooled t25?
I have possibly crazy ideas of increasing fuel efficiency beyond simply driving slowly(easy!) lowering the springs and fitting a chin spoiler! I want futrue proof my heavy old brick as much as possible :D

Realise I need to keep the fresh air vent exposed and probably not inc the lights.

Anyone done this noticed a difference?

just blanking the grill wont give you any more fuel economy.
but it will make you bus look horrid!!! :lol:

to get the best mpgs make sure it is set up right (ie timing ad fuelling) has the correct tyre pressures and dont cart around any un necessary c.rap!!!
