I had one of those on my 96 GTI, did not know it was an option as such.

Ive got one on my 97 16v, apparently they're supposed to help reduce drag coefficient... :rolleyes:

It will actually help improve aero, underbody flow is one of the biggest causes of drag on a car due to projections, voids etc so the bumper will normally catch a lot of air like a bucket. Is it worth it? Dunno probably not

Lowering a car helps reduce the drag CO a well*, less space to get under car = less airflow under car :)



*to an extent, at some point not you'll hit stall and make more drag, or hit the floor and make even more drag :p
