I don't like those, looks half wona be DTM style, if you're going to do those type of extensions I think you'd need to incorperate the skirts and rears also.

And ron i really think on how good your car is now i think you should get your national race licence and enter the ttrs race series next year time attack is getting to exspensive for what it is plus theres another 2 x3doors and 3 saffs in the series so some competetion
he should make them, i said that to him yerstarday about doing them,

i have had a look in to that series and it is really well priced, i think i need to do a lot more to my car to get it up to scratch, which i will do this winter hopefully, their is a lot more that can be done to improve handling, next time the ttrs series at brands i will definately be having a look, have you got a link to the series?

if it looked anything like you it would be scrapped for looking offensive

can appreciate people will dislike what has been done and probably no need to go that mad with it, but the control tyre (pirelli) come in very weird sizes and i have to use a big profile if i want to go any bigger than 215,

plus its good to be different

Agreed, I think that would be a better way to go.

Is there any way you could move the aerocatch forward? Plenty of space for wide tyres now!

The lower half of the canard needs cutting and scooping as RS GRANT says, it will clear the catch too and you will have double canards . WIN WIN. very well specced motor now. the rear diffuser should be interesting, I'm sure you could sell a few extras when done

the mirrors or the bits of carbon?

granted the carbon is too thick and does not bend to the shape of the door, but it was all i had lying about.

but the mirrors are ok
