Can you not lower your engine

As above use box section alli. It's really light and strong. You could cover in carbon on spray same colour as your body. Are you raising the scuttle as well ? Otherwise the bonnet won't fit to it.

Or use a bonnet bulge or scoop save a lot of messing about? Plus the come in carbon so you don't need to paint etc.

Hi all I've already got a bonnet scoop but it's too far back and I can't really lower the engine any lower as it scrapes getting it of my driveway , I've tryed looking on ebay for box section but all I can find is actual square box but I need it wider than higher

I used ali channel with the open side towards the chassis rail. Got it from B&Q or wickes its normally kept with their steel box/angle iron and other ally sections you have to go in store though they dont show it online.But as normal with B&Q and its a bit of a rip off for what you get.
Cheers,
Bob
