...although I don't think you'd want to cut up that beautiful black hood of yours though?? Looks like your car is pretty sleek as it is. You could maybe install ducts from the grill to the backing plates of the front brakes to keep them cool. What kind of front bumper is that?
Thanks Jadewombat
I did think about cutting the hood but as you have said cutting it would not be something I would want to do .The bumper is from a Rover 400,It has been modified a bit but not heavily.
