Nice one brother Lee.

Benefits the kit offers are far better engine cooling,

Not without removing the boot and cutting holes in the clam. Feeding air in from the scoop without giving it somwhere to exit will pressurise the region abover the engine and reduce/stop the flow from the ears and NACA ducts

Mine will be feeding my Harrop completely sealed

whats the best way for a turbo i can use all that air

You could do the same frosty make an enclosed air box where scoop is ,feeding your turbo with nice cool air

Just like this ;-)

I can't see how getting cold air to the filter is an issue where it sits behind the ear. I'd say this coupe back would be more for getting cold air over the engine then out through some rear cut outs like cliffie and JJJ have. Going to be interesting what ever you boys do with this.

I am sure Winstar could verify if the front rad flow will be drawn in the roof scoop, it may be possible to modify the front bonnet vents to improve this. If the kit came with every last bolt fixing and seal , and the quality of the finish matched the Lotus gt3 kits then I would like one too. I would want the kit to be usable with the roof off for opentop driving though.

I agree.

Ok point taken, I guess 'kit' isn't the right term, I'll change title. I wish I had the facilities/time/money to develop this to a full blown kit but the fact is I've got hold of something I really wanted and had a batch of them made up so as to spread the costs out. If it were fully developed like you want then it would cost a load more than it does; the german equivilant version is 3K Euro!!

With the panels people will not need to invest too much effort to get a pretty polished finish.

I've drawn up some brackets for fixing the coupe panel and I'm just getting some quotes and the hardtop is pretty straightforward....
