9 degrees was a common angle when I googled it. And I'll adjust it up and down a few degrees when I get chance to play, see if it feels better or worse (floaty)


Thanks.
I am véry curious to any results/experience.

A slight rear lip could aument the effect in combination with the higher wing.
A simple universla rubber strip tacked to the rear will provide a break off ridge for the air flow, preventing a negative eddy aumenting the drag.





I am still studying the info on the subject but it looks very much like that such a lip would allow for a more shallow angle having the same downforce.

Btw. your ´vented´ front is awesome. More cooling ánd downforce rather than less lift. Ok, more air resitance at higher speeds but those are a nono on the public road anyway.

Changed my headlights again, pimped up some facelift ones.

Not much left of them, stole the lenses for these and the projectors were crap anyway

Nice work - perfect blend of sharp, clean FL/PFL headlights!

What bulbs are in the projectors? LED / Halogen?

Do you reckon it'll MOT like that? I thought 5000K was the coldest white you could get a pass on the new MOT - but I'm sure there's still loads of 6000K lights out there... but then yours must be >7000K?

The main beam and projectors are stock still. I'll change them eventually.

I can change the colour of the sidelight bulbs so I can make them more yellow for the mot.

Should be less problem than the last ones with the aftermarket projectors fitted (never had a problem but there's always a first time)

Going to look more racy still Lee, with the hardtop!
Looking forward to that and more updates from you  :D

Btw. fínally found confirmation that the ´Kamm´ lip on the rear deck in combination with the higher wing increases the efficiency of the whole greatly. In this set up the lip flips the lift of the car shape itself to downforce ánd eliminates the stall area behind the mid of the wing.

Cool, still confuses me all the aerodynamic stuff.

Yeah I think my car is really not fitting the convertible look now with the soft top
