Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks
German term or phrase: Anströmkörper
Comes from a list of exterior components that are below the vehicle's character line:

(z.B. Splitter, Diffusor, Anströmkörper, Verkleidung UT vorn und hinten, Schweller, Flic’s, Einstiegsleiste)

Sorry, there isn't any more context than that. The most helpful link I've found is this http://catalogues.jost-world.com/de/jost-achsen-systeme-kata... which suggests it's something that reduces air resistance, but this is referring to trailers so it may not be relevant, I'm not sure.

neutral  Richard Stephen: The disambiguation to your reference takes you to 'Spoiler', which I think is a better choice. After all the Jost page is a translation, not a native source. Although I realize clients are sometimes finicky about their terminology.

  -> I think 'spoiler' might refer to two or three of the German nouns in asker's list. See diagram here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuser_(automotive)
