The principal seems to make sense, but what do you think to these?

VXR CDTI, Can you explain your theory please? Vortex generators are effective in a number of places, doesn't matter what the drive system is. They control airflow over the car body and reduce drag.
I did look into having a carbon fibre one made for my vec but the cost is prohibitive. They need to be completely correct for the car they're fitted to and this takes time and effort, not just a case of sticking them on anyway you think is right.

The higher the performance car, the more effective they become.
