STYLING FITTINGS
DIFFUSERS & LIPS
A diffuser, in an automotive context, is a shaped section of the car's rear which improves the car's aerodynamic properties by enhancing the transition between the high-velocity airflow underneath the car and the much slower freestream airflow of the ambient atmosphere.
SIDE SKIRTS
Side skirts are used to reduce the amount of high-pressure area on the side of the car to go under the car from the sides. There is another aero device which helps to prevent air to flow underside of the car. ... Name of this device is front vortex generator.
CAR KITS
A body kit or body kit is a set of modified body parts or additional components that install on a stock car. Typically composed of front and rear bumpers, side skirts, spoilers, bonnets (bonnet scoop), and sometimes front and rear side guards and roof scoops. There are many companies that offer alternatives to the original factory appearance of the vehicle. Body kit components are designed to complement each other and work together as a complete design. Despite this, the 'mix and match' approach is often seen on cars, where the front of one body kit will be matched with the rear of another.
Automotive body kits are usually constructed of either fibreglass, polyurethane, or in some cases carbon fibre. Fibreglass is cheap and widely available, although it can crack upon impact. Polyurethane is popular because it is flexible and thus more resistant to damage. Carbon fibre body kits are rare, due to the cost of the materials, and are rarely seen on street-legal vehicles.
Factory-fitted body kits are now becoming more common, perhaps in response to the growth of the aftermarket tuning industry. Many manufacturers now work in-house with their motorsport divisions to develop styling upgrades. Well-known body kit brands include Veilside, Mansory, Novitec Group, Hamann Motorsport, Liberty Walk and Rocket Bunny.
ALLOY WHEELS
Some wheels, such as alloy wheels, allow for a personalised appearance. This not only makes your vehicle distinctive but can also completely transform its look – making them ideal if aesthetics top your criteria list when choosing or maintaining your car.
If being able to drive with confidence in the winter weather is important, then you can select wheels that will provide you with this. Or if you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint, you can find the most efficient option.
