Yeah im really sorry about that Ben!
Guess it shows that they all actaully do work and produce a lot of downforce.

They are a nightmare for hitting your ankles Duncan, you have to take a run up and jump into the car now! :-D

Hmmmm Judgement reserved until the Splitter is on.

You already know my views on the canards. :D

Just a thought, How do things like that fair when it comes to MOT time? Are they not seen as dangerous, seeing as they can severely injure someones ankles/legs if you were to hit them?

Don't mean to put a damper on your spirits Ian, just thought it might be worth thinking about incase you have to take them all off for the MOT.

Hopefully the splitter will bring the package together and make it look right. :D:D

I think it looked better when it was clean looking without the carbon exterior parts.

Do you think there will be a point where you mod it so low that you'll become too precious about your car to actually drive it anywhere and then not enjoy it?
With those skirts and a low splitter I'd be forever thinking about not kerbing them or twating something on a speedbump.

Thanks for all the opinions guys, is nice to hear what people think.
I really like carbon detailing on the exterior of cars so im happy with how it looks.

James the point you have raised is a valid one but my car has been far from practical right from day one.
My car is so unpractical that i cant take it in town or anything anyway. I am not worried about using the car hard on correct roads but i would never be able to take it through a town centre or narrow streets anyway.

Nik,
Good point about the MOT but the way my car is i think i am going to have to find a very 'freindly' test centre without unbolting half of my car to get it through!!
I think those canards would suit your 32! :wink:

Thanks very much.
I really need to get round to refurbing my brakes like you have done mate but i dont fancy splitting all the lines etc.
I am going to try doing them on the car i think.
