The function of the front lip
.
When properly fitted, a front lip ensures that the airflow surrounding the car is broken, improving aerodynamics. Front lips are available in a wide variety of matereals and colors, and can be perfectly matched to the appearance of the car. Gladly, this type of body parts is also used to enhance the visual appearance of the vehicle. Furthermore, front lips offer good protection against scratches or dents, because the actual paint of the car is thus spared.
Why do you need a sideskirt?
A sideskirts are a type of side sill trim, whereby an add-on part is attached to the underside of a vehicle. This extends the vehicle frame so that it is closer to the ground. In addition to regulating air circulation, the purpose of these add-on parts is to provide protection for the car and improve the look and aesthetics of the vehicle. Sideskirts can be made of different materealien and thus best adapted to the particular vehicle model. We offer in our online store numerous Sideskirts for every taste, so that you also find.
.
What is the function of the diffuser (rear diffuser)?
The diffuser basically ensures that the flow, which occurs during driving, slows down and that in addition the static pressure is increased. Thus, a change in direction of the air is generated, which has a positive effect on the drive of the car. Also the rear diffuser ensures that during driving a suction is created, which has a positive effect on the speed of the vehicle. In racing cars, by the way, the diffuser is responsible for about 40% of the drive. Thanks to our large assortment, you can choose from a large number of high quality diffusers for a wide variety of car models.

The working of the fender
.
Fenders have the job of covering the wheels of a car. The fender therefore ensures that the wheels of the car are sufficiently protected from external influences. In addition, fenders have the task of protecting wheels of a vehicle from dirt. In addition, the purpose of fitting mudguards is to prevent water from being swirled up on the road surface, making it difficult for other road users to see. In addition, fenders offer the opportunity to visually enhance the appearance of a car and provide that certain something. Our fenders are made of only the highest quality materials and have the highest quality.
.
What exactly is a roof edge spoiler?
The roof edge spoiler has, in addition to the task of giving a car that certain something, another, namely the bestowal of stability. Especially when high speeds are reached, it can happen that the stability of the vehicle decreases. Also, driving fast on curves puts additional demands on the car and its stability. The roof edge spoiler therefore ensures that the car does not lose control so quickly and that stability is maintained. Therefore, it is especially advisable for drivers who like to make fast trips and also turn the one or the other curve, to install a suitable roof edge spoiler from our range. Also in our range are many different roof edge spoiler for various vehicle types to find.
.
Why do you need flaps?
Flaps, when properly installed, have the task of increasing the downforce of the car. However, in doing so, the air resistancestad is increased only very slightly. As a rule, flaps are fitted to the front bumper. The effect of a flap is basically comparable to that of a steeper front wing. However, the flaps have a much lower air resistance. Because it works so well, the flap is particularly popular with professional racers, where it is often used. We have copied the tips and tricks of the pros, which is why many Flaps for the most diverse requirements are also available in our range.
.
What are front splitters?
The front splitter is mounted so that it sits close above the roadway. As the name suggests, it splits the airstream which hits the car. Part of the airflow thus reaches the top, where it can be used for cooling or just dissipated. The other part of the air is directed under the car. This air is accelerated as it flows in, creating a negative pressure. This negative pressure subsequently ensures that downforce is created at the front axle. So if you decide to improve the aerodynamics of your vehicle, you will find in our range numerous front splitter for a wide variety of vehicle models.
.
What does a rear wing help with?
The tail wing also supports the aerodynamics of a vehicle in a positive sense. It ensures that the vehicle can move as quickly and smoothly as possible. When a high-quality rear wing is properly attached to the vehicle, it creates a negative pressure necessary for road holding. In addition, the detour of air through the rear wing and the resulting reduction in pressure decisively improves road grip. A tail wing is therefore by no means just a nice accessory for the car, but also contributes to a pleasant and efficient driving style.
What is the function of tailgates?
The tailgate has the task of closing the trunk up or back. Depending on which car model it is, the tailgate is built differently. That is why there are also different types of tailgates and not every model is suitable for every type of vehicle. Moreover, with replacement of tailgate can also change the appearance of your vehicle. If you need a new tailgate or want to replace your old one, there is a wide range of products available on our website.
.
What exactly is a rear splitter?
The rear splitter is mounted to the rear of the respective vehicle and provides here thanks to the many different design options not only for an optical upgrade, but also for increased downforce on the rear axle. Due to this, rear splitters significantly improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle. The rear splitter ensures that the car is optimally flowed around, so that there is as little drag force as possible. Increased aerodynamics, and the increased streamlining that comes with it, can also ensure that the car consumes less fuel.
The rear spoiler simply explained
.
The job of the rear spoiler is to give the car stability even at high speeds. This is done by reducing the lift force and the amount of air flowing around the vehicle while driving. Thus, driving characteristics such as driving stability, lateral acceleration and cornering speed can be improved. In addition, the braking distance at high speeds can be improved. However, the spoiler can only develop its full effect at higher speeds from around 100 kilometers per hour. When these speeds are reached, the airstream is large enough to push the car harder onto the ground. Air currents are then directed upward through the spoiler, creating forces that provide the downforce.
Cowls
The engine hood protects the vehicle's engine compartment from external influences such as weather or mechanical impact. In addition to the practical function, a hood but also contributes quite a bit to the visual appearance of a vehicle. In addition to many different shapes and colors, hoods are also available in various materials. All these components allow you to design your car individually and freely according to your wishes and ideas. The times when every car resembled the other are over. Rather, in recent times, especially for car lovers, the focus is on individuality and uniqueness.
.
For what do you actually need side skirt extensions?
The side skirt extensions can also contribute to improved handling. Among other things, they ensure that the forces acting on the car while driving are evenly distributed. In the event of a side impact, for example, it is important not to have a high degree of rigidity, so that the energy generated by the impact can be dissipated in a targeted manner. In addition, the penetration speed can then be reduced. In addition, the side skirt approach is especially, due to its ability to improve the flow around, popular with owners of sports cars. Thanks to the wide range of design options, side skirt extensions also contribute a great deal to the visual appearance of a vehicle.
Make the car more beautiful with seat covers
.
Seat covers belong to the field of interior refinement of vehicles. They ensure that the seats are protected from external influences and give the interior a new look. Depending on the appearance of the seat covers, ordinary seats can be transformed into sports seats and a truly sporty flair can be created. As a rule, seat covers are made of high-quality materials and are very often made of the resistant and noble-looking carbon, including from the Carbonwerk Germany. Depending on your budget and personal requirements, you can choose between different optics and processing forms.
Mirror flaps simply explained
The mirror flaps can ensure that the exterior of a vehicle gets a new look and thus significantly affect the overall impression of the car. The installation of a mirror flap usually does not require a lot of work and time and is done quickly. Nevertheless, this can set targeted highlights and give the vehicle a new look. Depending on the vehicle model, there are different variations of mirror flaps, for example with integrated turn signal or without.
