you must be on the Bud.... thats not STIGs old car as its not got factory std wheels.

could this be Ian's car?

Have to say that I think those mods look great, it makes the car look much more together at the front IMO..... why couldn't these mods be available when I had mine?

Are the canards road legal?

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that they aren't.. (could be barking up the wrong tree tho... )

I must say that I always thought they look better with a 5 spoke wheel on the 5 spoke hug, and at least these one's look almost like the factory 6 spoke, just minus a spoke, rather than the normal (read as 'ugly') 5 spoke that I've seen on some...

Are the cannards just to improve down force at the front?

And do the little vents on top of the wheel arches just release built up air pressure to reduce lift at the front or...?

Heh. Heh. Yeah. I don't see that passing an SVA...more exterior projection problems than a porcupine...

Are those slicks too?

Interesting mods.

Nope, not guilty guv. Not my old car that's for sure.

Like the wing vents, am considering something like that on the Can-Am as it happens...

Looks like the Fins are bolt on, so you could remove them for SVA.... and Remember the Standard wing needs rubber edging strip to pass SVA....

I think any improvement in front downforce and wheel arch pressure venting can only be a good thing....Plus as a bonus it's looks sexy to boot....

A great deal of work in the front of that car and the interior.

Front air inlet enlarged. Interior covered with leather.

Any more photos?
