The only thing I'm not too keen on is the huge hole in the bumper for the cold air feed Other than that though looks good!

I'll have to post some pictures of my Trophy Blue 180 at some point... will finish the body work and clean it first though! lol

I know the hole looks a bit odd but the throttle response is much better since adding the feed. Functional rather than cosmetic

It's been hard to clean cars properly. So damn cold. What you got loft to do on bodywork then?

Functional. That hot engine was sapping power when the car warmed up!

Not very functional when it's positioned at right angles to the direction of airflow, unless you spend a lot of time sideways, or is it extracting hot air.

So by that reckoning then no air comes into the car when you open the windows??

Yes a lot of air will blow past but it isnt at a right angle, and your theory would make the side vents on an MGF useless too!

Yeah, lots of air comes in through open side windows, remove the windscreen and see the difference, mgf intakes have scoops iirc to help direct the air.

Oh, Need new badges, need new rear bumper (some arse hit me in a car park and ran off) and need to fit the body kit!

IIRC it doesn't matter and it looks fairly functional to me, its not a ram air, but the engine will suck in as much cold air as it wants\needs

Looks good with white on trophy blue, I had white starights before, a right pita to keep clean and track days killed the finish due to the heat! Not liking the CAF though, wrong position as it is not taking advantage of the cold air at speed, you will suffer from turbulence with it there.

Other mods are good. How do you find the handling with the rear braces? Did you do them together or one at a time? I have heard the back is too tight for road use especially in the wet with them fitted. It's one mod I haven't really pushed to do as yet.
