An air dam fits under the front of the car, preventing most air from traveling under it. Sometimes it is called an air spoiler, but true spoilers are usually fitted to the rear. Air dams were part of the Datsun 1200 FIA homologation.

Cut where the red line is and go from there, trim another inch or two until your indicators sit flush with the mira indicators slots. If i didn't 14" rims that wide then i wouldn't of had to trim the sides to much which looked better. Keep the grille if you can, mine was already broken so had to cut it out.
