You'd be better off not blocking your new sill plates at the rear of your front wheel arches. Leave that "open" and add a "flap" at the front of the front wheel arches, reaching from the bottom of your splitter up to approx. the Point where your canard ends.

Hope that makes sense, not very easy to describe without a drawing.

cant open the front of the sill out as the vertical section is needed to secure it to the car. the wheel arch is just about the only thing to fix it to. And I agree with the splitter, I was thinking about tweaking that area anyway to match the shape of the canard. although it will only be minor as the splitter will remain on for the road where as the canards can be as silly as we like as they are detachable for road use.

And yes, Richard Albans still owns TTS.

Carbon end plates from the wing supplier at @£260 or end plates from the F1 supplier in the unit next door for beer tokens, tough choice wink

Few more jobs done tonight. Got one rad cowling finished. Also got all the mesh bonded into the front clam. Currently held in place with cable ties to keep it flush with the bodywork smile

Spectacular!

I almost cried when I saw the giant wing and canards but the finished car really does look great. Bet you are itching to go and play!

That just looks so right, and with all that power on tap its going to be bloody rapid!

Fantastic car, I'm very jealous.
