Does anyone have a template to cut the front infill sections so it clears the wheels.

Even Tux's need trimming I found.

I can take some photos if that helps Captain?

The reverie ones I had needed trimmed too, then snapped off at 185mph, now use a one piece sheet of Ali for under the rad and the infills.

Sorry for the stupid question, but what do infill panels do?

Thanks

Creates downforce by increasing the surface area under the car and creating smoother laminar air flow under the vehicle, sucking the car to the ground. This works in conjunction with the front splitter, which without the infill panels is for aesthetics and speed bump removal only.

I have Tuxman infils and they didnt need any trimming at all.

Only problem with them is, they look so nice but you don't get to see them and they get covered in sh*t from the wheels!

M400s have more lock so trimming required

That's just in the increased weight of gravel you can carry, let alone the potential downforce benefits!

Hi! My front floor didnt look so good after a real look! The last owner Said It has
been changed but it not looks like what! You who have changed, have used new
Alu? Or carbon? Or plastic? Looking forward to get information and tips, maybe more
Pics, here in Sweden there is only 2 Noble! My own 3R and 1 M400, both in Larch silver
:-)

That is my car. I made a template from cardboard, then transferred the outline to very thin aluminium (did I spell that right wink ) Not as stiff as carbon, but equally light and much less expensive!

OTOH, if we had a Tuxman on my side of the pond, I would probably buy his carbon parts.

Okej! You used alu in original place and carbon "outside"? Do you sell this piece of carbon?
