  1. Yes, when the start of the video showed those plugs I expected to see some nice trick where you push your hand to some little hole after removing one plastic cover. Taking the wheel off was a final hint that this is getting ugly.

  2. I'd guess the reason is either trying to avoid warping the door due temperature changes or to reduce weight of the flap to make it easier to rotate with the servo. Though I really don't believe a steel flap could warp with the temperatures that those flaps see. And the weight reduction is not big enough to really matter. Maybe some kind of relief valve setup in case pressure gets really high the foam will rip?

  3. 12:10 If the car has ESP, make sure you don't accidentally rotate the wheel rotation sensor 360 degrees in either direction (that black thing with two plastic poles). Doing that will cause spring coil like wiring to fail sooner or later. Edit: I see you taped it at 14:10

  4. That's obviously weight reduction to make the car faster!
