Should the space below the headlight pods have any drain holes? Anybody seen some? cheers, John.

Do you mean in the undertray? My Chim didnt have any ~ but a drill quickly corrected that

I put them in the lowest parts of the corner pieces by the wheelarch & under the rad. Washed car (omly the once BTW) on level ground so you you can see where the water collects was my simple strategy....

I guess its in the same area but just to either side of the rad is a sort of seperate section which looks as if it should have holes. If no one comments against this then in go the holes. Thanks Dave.

Hi

The space below the headlight pod on the nearside holds the heater blower so holes there might not be advisable.

Yes - I wasn't half surprised to see it there when we took the nearside headlight pod out when I fitted the SE pods during a recent respray. Blows air up over the n/s wheelarch and into the dash above the glovebox.

The wonder of TVRs!
