At that price it's worth fitting a few sets :lol:


But, semi serious question - what about louvres on the rear arches too? Lower pressure from the rear arches and aid engine cooling a little?

I liked those things resting on the Lotus wings, they looked like the things my Sharon puts on people shoulders before she cuts their hair........ That thing that looks like Darth Vader's cod piece. Is that some kind of "shower cap", and why is the rest of the car the color of mud. All in all it resembles the inside of my Sharon's panties.

From the english version of site:

PRICE IN FIBERGLASS 400 EURO.

CONTACT US FOR PRICE IN CARBON.

All fiberglass parts are primed and ready for paint.

So yes it is around £350, but only for the fibreglass version, carbon is probably a tad more

That isnt a bad price at all. Not sureon the fit though at the bottom edge :unsure: I wonder how silly it would look with a soft top and weather/how the bootlid opens...

I believe it covers the vents on the engine cover (or pretty close to them)

Here's a design stage pic to give you an idea:
