Beaten to it, thanks.
I keep toying with vents but they somehow make the front look less agressive.

Maybe shallower with an inner curve that follows the curve of the grill area.
I've got a few designs here where I'm always playing in photoshop, but still havent found anything that works yet. Need to get a front end respray so if its going to get done it will be then.

i was looking to do a lotus 2-11 rear design vents even purchased a rear end or a 2-11 to use but its just time involved
to make and redesign the rear to make it a item that people would be able to fit. there was a thread on it sometime back
i was ment to do more on it over winter but just not go around to it to be honest.

I agree with the comment on the front vents being too big, a wee bit smaller would look so much better (see darcini's). Perhaps I should take a covert mould!
