Default scoop!!

Is it just me or does anyone else have a problem with the front !! Driving along last week I saw a tescos bag floating in the road, it saw my car and pounced. I looked behind and it was no where ...it had got sucked up in the front spolier bit thingy whatever its called!!! I had the same thing this morning, driving along minding my own business when a paper bag appears out of no where , sees my car and makes a dash for it, I look in the rear view mirror and its not there !!! Drive to the car park and the guy goes ' you have a bag stuck to the front of your car ' !!!


God knows what it's gonna be like when it snows!!!!!!!!!!!

can't say this has ever happened to me, its usually just flying and buzzing things which make a beeline for the YP mistaking it for a huge sunflower

I put in a home made grill for just this very reason. Didn't fancy anything big bouncing off the radiator

After fitting the GrilleTech grille its amazing what it picks up - loads of flies and other mess. Am surprised grilles don't come as standard !
Have found that, driving on a hot summer night, the headlights attract insects which are then sucked towards the engine but stopped by the grille.

Picked up a sponge (car-washing kind) and had it stuck to the intake all the way from Silverstone to Kent!
I'm so glad no stones have been through the rad (yet!)

Next mod for those of you out there who like doing a fast and the furious stylee

Inspiration from the 1950's (I think) Auto-Union or Mercedes (I forget which)

HAd such a speed advantage they had a handle in the cockpit that pulled the front grill up and dumped it over the top.

Perfect weapon for when you've just blazed past the Boxster behind you
