Ah sorry about that... Aaron - The Renault driver!

My exit was hopeless... dont bring it up.. the car is running an insane amount of boost in the cold and the boost controller is wound all the way down.. I dont know what I have done wrong...

the HT front bar looks much better if you cut all the crap away IMO

like i did here - that gap is for the intercooler

but even if not, you can still mesh it easily...

DAN! that looks awsome! i think i like that meshing more than the other sort... and it does look very nice with out all the stuff going across the gap... you do all that yourself???? that'll look awsome with the intercooler sitting between the meshing... and what are u using to get your bar so clean and shiny!!!??? not one splattered bug to be seen!

Autobarn?

Favourite place ~ NOT!

I was going to ask where you got it, what is it etc!

Wonder what it would look like on a BA hatch!

anyone else done it on a BA hatch yet?

Hmmmm, wonder if Kitty could be first?

bwahahahahahahahahaha!

:twisted:

What's wrong with me commenting on your bar Dan??

I've been racking my brain cells (the whole herd of them) trying to remember what the 'trade names' for all the different types of mesh are. Makes it much easier to ring around when you know what you're talkign about to metal shops etc.

If it comes to me I'll post and if not I'll dig back through my paper notes (*acks*) and see if I have reference somewhere....
