Check out that rear spoiler! its a picnic table on tooth picks bolted to the boot!

On a serious note, I will be modding my stock bonnet to have that kind of vent pattern, just running the OEM bonnet scoop to cool the rear rotor and gearbox rather than an intercooler :)

It also looks like they have nicked my rims, as that is what I will be making them look like lol :D

noob question--Why does the rear rotor require extra cooling then?? or is it just because its sandwiched between the gear box and the rest of the engine?

Its because the rear rotor is right at the back of the engine bay, the front rotor is near all the incomming air and has a big fan next to it, the rear rotor is sandwiched between a hot rotor and a hot gearbox without any cool air getting to it :)

Does it really matter that much? Loads of the American lot go back to EGI bonnets once they go front mount. Its not something I\'d do personally just seen loads of htem do it. They deal with hotter air temps than us generally too.
