Re: Oh pants, car already feeling slower......
Plus you'd get a decent venturi effect with those.

Re: Oh pants, car already feeling slower......
Yeah, backward facing vents have been my latest plan. I originally liked the one's that Headshot did (AMG stylee) but I can't see the point now. I'd like to draw air out when moving and have the sportec mod to reduce pressure behind the radiator.
The plus spec auxiliary radiators are on the car now too, this will hopefully reduce some heat soak. I'm look at a gearbox cooler at the moment and a solution to the current slipping, a better pump might help, if not, it's going to be a very drastic solution I move to next...

No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: Oh pants, car already feeling slower......
Just to be clear: I meant those vents to be fitted to the undertray, not the bonnet.

Re: Oh pants, car already feeling slower......
I am all for bonnet louvres if done tastefully in this case but my 1 concern is that I park outside, on a sloped drive, facing downwards so it is asking for rain to run in to the bay. I got away with nicely on my last scoob:
