I think I need to find out if I'm gonna make a really good track car or just a road car. Trackday car aero mods always compromise on the looks :( But too be honest I think I will need them even for the monthly trackday! So screw let's do it proper ay!!!! Look forward to seeing more pictures fadge man!

Yeah bring a good outcome to this project. I have a theory, only a theory mind and at best it is only my theory. "There is a difference between the often quoted front downforce our cars produce because the front is flat (ish). As opposed to downforce that is created by a wing or splitter." "Downforce created by managing the airflow under the car or by fitting 6R4 type wing is different to the loading of the front of the car because the nose is too flat." It is only a theory don't bone me if I am wrong. I know it would look really strange but I would very much like to hear how the Vx drives with a real front wing. No I am not going to volunteer to create such an abomination but it would be good to hear if it worked or not. Anyway getting back to the splitter. Good luck with the project and please keep us posted. Paul

Just to be perfectly clear.

Splitter sounds cool.

Sticking 6R$ wing on front of car sounds like abomination.

Paul does not disrespect your splitter.
