Agree it would look better without the eyebrows.
Stunning car though. I wish mine would like that clean when "dirty"

Loving the vents Si but the eyebrows look out of place and are not needed in my opinion.
The rest looks sweet as always...

Have to agree, the eyebrows just dont suit the rest of the car. Throws it out of balance.
Still a stunner though

vents look good but need to match the central line of the carbon to stop looking so obvious...eyebrows look terrible, this particular rose has already been gilded

Looks agresive Si. The WRC vents and eye brows actaully grow on you, the more you look and stair are the car.
All you want now is the 22b wide arch kit...oops did I say too much

They are Functional though
Heat that escapes is amazing. They were good enough for Wrc cars.

Yea, but the WRC cars are function over form which this car isnt, IMO... I think this car is absolutely amazing, but like others have said, I think the latest wee additions are a step too far.
If you're happy with them, then thats the only thing that matters!!
Cheers,
Grant

Si, alright big fella
Looking very nice, I actually quite like those eyebrows, just not 100% sold on the bonnet vents as yet, but i`ll see them in real life first before I judge them. Things can look rather different in the metal as you know

Si,
Seeing as theyre only clipped on as you say. Is it possible for you to remove them and post some pics of her with just the vents.
Id just be interested to see it vented but without the brows on.
