Had a look at the possibility, but decided it would be easier to put some side scoops just behind the rear windows on either side as it meant you don't have to re design the rear clam, just increase the opening that's already there.

did you do the side scoops ?

can we see a pic

Interesting. I spotted that on the M25 this summer and he didn't have it then. Must be a fairly recent addition? Member around here?

Looks like it is just venting into the cabin ,rather than into the engine bay.( I'm referring to the silver one)

That's a nicely designed roof scoop which is clearly aimed at cabin venting. But why add drag on the roof just to get some air into the cabin? There are other non-intrusive ways.

Re engine bay venting/increasing intercooler airflow: I can't recall the model but IMHO Lotus have it right with their engine cover with integrtated air scoop design - it just looks right.

The roof scoop is going to have to be BIG to get enough air to the IC. you are probably takling FORD RS200 size! It would be easier mount the IC higher up and closer to the air inlet (a bit like lotus did). the RMR guys did this with their PM580 pike peak car.

This will add drag though and i think Paul on here said a well design NACA duct and a fast back with give just as much airflow keeping the IC in the stock location.

I saw it at bespoke ... it does not vent into the cabin at all - it is just a stuck on piece.

Maybe it makes a nice whistling noise

I also seem to remember he had retrimmed the role cage in illuminous day glo yellow/green. Questionable taste.

At least he painted the calipers to match!

True. Never nice when the collar and cuffs don't match
