I think that ducting needs to go nearer to the disk as at the distance of wont have much effect.

I'm going to fit these eventually, right now I just think any air in there is better than nothing  :happy2:

The extra downforce should be noticeable with the lower splitter.  I hope your fibreglass repair skills are as good as your woodworking skills.   :laugh:

I like the look of it Robin and it may even help a bit, I think I'll have to raise the front a bit to get to the track in one piece though.   :happy2:

I didn't think coming off the road my drive was that steep   :ashamed:  still, its a good way of letting the Mrs know to put the kettle on.

Neil - Have you considered taking out the fog lights and ducting some air to the brakes that way also, it would have the added benefit of more weight reduction :signLOL:

Car looks amazing Neil. I'm actually glad you didn't sell it now having seen the way it has been transformed!
