Raz, its unsilenced,, get booked! Be great to see you there.

1 place left and weather looks good.

Nomad, ta

I did think the wheels might clash with the car, but they look ok... plus it's not meant to be a show car either way.

I'm pleased with the externals of the car though, as it's pretty stealthy minus the wing and you would probably never know about the mountain of mods which lurk beneath

Some nice chap

Ok I need to look at some brake cooling for next year.

Brakes were getting sooooo hot.

Anyone got any DIY ducting solutions?

Wouldn't be too hard with some flexi pipe and removed faux vents in the bumper

Might also want to remove the disc guards that sit behind the discs to get more air to the discs

Yep I think Dixon has done this on other cars.

Been meaning to remove the dust shields for a while too!

MB, I have done the ducting, I got alu flanges for the dust shields and got them pop riveted on, then ran 55mm kevlar flexi hose to the front vents..

Plenty of DIY threads, however they do tend to be for the pre-2004 cars, not the bumper you have, so the ducts could be interesting.. Check out Demon Tweeks.
