[s-cars] Belly pan blues (95 S6A)

My personal take on this is just buy the OE plastic belly pan.

It has been designed in a wind tunnel and has functioning
NACA ducting. It helps to keep the engine bay clean as well as
direct air to places that need air, e.g. stock intercooler, oil
cooler,
etc.  It is also flexible enought to accommodate minor FMIC piping
"bumps" (BTDT - two different designs).

Removal and replacement takes some practise but it really isn't such a
big 
deal every 3000 mi or 5000 km for an oil change.

Trying to develop one in metal that does what needs to be done
without creating a big lifting body (think the Mercedes LeMans car
doing back flips through the air) will end up costing more than the
OE plastic.

But that's just my opinion.
