my 1st choice was oz super or ultra laggeras but they are very costly but very light :-) momo was my second choice and to be honest they are close to the weight of the superlaggeras and you can get them at amuch better price.

Phil,
Looks good, If its a bit bit at the bottom can you spread the tunnel slightly at the bottom to make it fit before you bolt it down???

thanks scott, i might do that but will also add rubber trip as all the other pannels have rubber trim on them and i want it to match.

made a little cover for the steering column and u j the other day, not bad for 1 hours work, and it looks ok i think... do we think iva man we be happy that it won't just "fall off" after the test??? bent a bit of ali i had left over from something else, held it in place to mark out and then cut the hole to fit over the rack... then covered it in the same sticky carbon sheet i used for the back pannels. clips hold the rubber trim in place as the polyurithane glue sets... its riveted to the car with 4mm rivets which fit well in the mesh pannel, if i ever take it off again there will be no holes/damage to the side pannel. thats it in place, just the engine mount covers to make now ;D

hey mate,
yes its open at the front, with a bit of luck it will channel air to the mc's (though im not sure they need it)
engine mount covers are alot harder to make out of ali :-( iv not come up with anything that looks good yet :-(
