Answer
Hello Boodi:

I'm afraid I can't help you very much.  All my work is on real race cars that we race on race tracks, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with anything driven on the street.

Bumpers are bolted on, so are wings and all that aerodynamic stuff. On a race car their positioning is critical to the high speed handling of the car. But on a street car, maybe they're cool, but they accoomplish absolutely nothing at any speed under about 120 MPH/190 KPH.

The best advice I can give you is to buy a copy of SPORT COMPACT Magazine, and subscribe.  You'll learn a lot from that very fine hobbiest magazine.

Good luck,
