The front brake cooling scoops would really look cool!!! Any thoughts on a rear spoiler as well? You're also doing an engine cover right? Will there be options for an intercooler scoop or opening? My plan is still an SRT4 drivetrain with big turbo and custom intercooler. |

| Re: SL Roadster sketches... The problem with supplying a rear cover is that every engine package is different and one size will not fit all....as you have already shown with your request for intercooler ducting..
We may offer more accessories further down the line but not at present.

Have you seen the Ariel Atom? That would be your UK competition.

| Re: SL Roadster sketches... Malc..
8k quid for mine ...dont know about the price of the Atom....
Eric....front or rear cooling packaging is available depending upon power output and drivetrain...
I have had requests about bike engines too although that is not my chosen or prefered route....best part is you can build it your way and nobody can say its wrong........
