looks good, but the abortion of mesh at the front spoils it IMO

cheers guys.
myke, that abortion of mesh is to let plenty of air in and to keep it cooler, dont want too much hot air going into the throttle bodies. its just a race car, if it was a road car i wouldnt have done that to it.

i understand why it's been done, just i imagine it could of been done a bit more attractively.
you must of spent a bit on the respray etc, but it looks spoilt by the mesh.

only had a 14.2 out of it about a month ago, that was b4 it was set up on the rolling road.
ran it yesterday but only got a 14.6, but it was in a rain storm and a flooded track.
decent day and it running properly im hoping for below 14's.
