Not sure

It's completely removeable and brings the side skirt a bit lower to the floor, if I ground it out it's replaceable.

Or I could just not fit it.....

..... or try a diff shape.

The wheels are flush with the outside of the flappy bit.

I used the outside face of the wheels as a datum to make the side skirts from when I built the pattern.

The canards at the front are the widest point of the car for obvious reasons

That's said grant .... I have no qualms about having a Mazda-esqe appearance to the rotus.

Theres more Mazda parts than lotus parts.

The 110 Cosmo was nicknamed the elan from Japan......

.... seems only fair to pay homage to a rotary from yesteryears

Whats wrong with getting milk via the mountains?? I must be missing something !!
Based on most the cars in my local supermarket, Rotus would look like class! Probably only get a 2 pint in it safely though

Yup the average shopping car looks the same as each other,  regardless of the badge.

Way of the world these days. Cars designed to be economical with low wind resistance, encap safety ratings, and even car manufacturers sharing the the same base platform as a joint venture to save £££

Gone are the days when a man put pen to paper and drew what was in his heart. Once in a while a car comes out like the Rx vision and stops us in our tracks and we think ....please build it.
