Just being dense but is that efficient? The front extract grills on the bonnet are to help air-flow through the rad and help dispel heat out but it does that just in front of the air-intake for the intercooler which wants to have cooler air 
In addition, any extracted air would also surely cause a vortex just in front of the intake, thus reducing the actual efficiency of the intake scoop
Or have I got it all wrong?
(Still looks class though
)

those spoilers are a pig to clean and polish so can only imagine what they're like to paint. I had to take bits off my polisher to be able to do Tiny's at the weekend. They collect water nicely don't they!
but they do look the dogs danglies. i want to know what one would look like on a classic.

I am seriously liking these wide-arch body kits 
Edit......apologies for such a demeaning comment ..."body kits"...WTF..........body modifications I mean.
Just wondered.....has anyone done the cut away wings like in this one http://imagenes.topspeed.com/IMG/cro...ort_006_aw.jpg yet?? (In the UK I mean)
Not sure of the purpose, but I think it's maybe for aerodynamic reasons?

Dal, I've been playing around with the idea of a personal number plate, but won't be getting it for a while yet, could you modify my back bumper to accomodate a full size plate?
I've got more inportant things to pay off for first
but was wondering if you would do it.
The Plate in question is P 500THN, so a jap plate won't have the same effect.
Also, are you still doing the Hawkeye style top spoilers?
