Have these got any gauze to stop stones? if not your first will be to Autoglass!

The Gurney tips the aero balance 8-10% forward, its a huge amount for what it is, the idea was wet and dry setup on track, it does increase drag quiet a lot.

Why did you want to move the aero forward Adrian ? Was there an issue with the handling ?

You can never have enough front bite in the wet, you should be able to turn the rear with the throttle

perhaps a flexible Gurney would work better here

ie it folds down (like the Mclaren) when the road speed gets really high, reducing drag

I like the front arch vents, but i do think they look a little bit stuck on. Would be nice to see a set that has been blended to the body

O/T. What angle do you all run the rear wing at? Is Reverie the best place to get a gurney strip for it?

Grant, that actually looks really cool.

All that aero stuff together. I know you guys have proper track weapons, and mine gets tracked but it's also a "weekend car" and even the spoiler is occasionally commented on as being a bit OTT so I have kept mine standard but immaculate and working with the necessary upgrades.

Now I am torn, do I start chopping the front about to have those cool and functional aero mods?......decisions decisions.

Think I might wait for the carbon, vaned rear diffuser first.

Hmm, the concept is OK but having them stuck on like that does seem a bit halfords. Someone blend them next time you're having a front clam respray.

Those look nice.

1.How hard is the install?
2.Do you use a jigsaw to cut the opening?
3.Is there an exact spot that they go in so they fit nice and flush?
4.What secures them in?
5.what do the Carbon fibre ones cost?
6.Any of you guys know when Jetstream will have there website up and running with complete parts and pricing?

Thanks

Don't you think they match the canards quite well which HAVE to be 'stuck' on?

Must mean you don't like the bonnet vents on the AM V12V /volante?!

These seem to be recessed into the metal using holes that seem to have been built into the panel when it was pressed, but that's just me being pedantic. I suppose this doesn't matter if you're going for the race car look.

[engineer mode] My main question would be... what exactly are they supposed to do and do you have any data to back that up? smile [/engineer mode]

On Nobles they let pressure out of the wheelarch so it doesn't go under the car and mess up downforce.

On Aston's they let the smoke out of the engine bay hehe

They are to let the blood and gore out when you run over rabbits, so they don't go flapping round stuck to the tyre

What would you want for them?

Do they drop down into the arch very far? I'm thinking they may be suitable for my racing car but I don't want to fit anything that'll protrude too far as I've already had a few instances under heavy braking of the front tyres touching the inner arch.

Also, when looking directly down on the louvre can you see through any of the slats or are they sufficiently overlapped to stop this as that would cause an issue with scruitineers if the tyre is visible.
