Subject: Re: New Parts
In one car the boot mat is an antique Portuguese rug, adds charm or so I tell myself! More seriously, under-bonnet heat management at low speeds needs to be addressed "in the round"; one of the Rapide's design issues is that the wing side vents are pretty ineffective because of blockages by servos etc; I've toyed with the idea of fitting extractor fans in them, also fitting a modified bonnet, like 110 in Oz. It would be interesting to know how 105 behaves as it was modified by AML to become the "Mark 2", and I would not be surprised if this grille change was not simply aesthetic. Also 137 with the DB5 front. In short there is simply not enough outside air flow
