steviewevie ok, but why do you need to duct air to the radiator ? It's mounted right at the front so will get all the fresh air it wants, surely ?
sorry, i meant it needs some sort of surround to make it IVA friendly. I think i may just add a simple surround to the radiator and blend it into the existing nosecone piece and not add the diffuser type piece. I can add a few little/subtle style carbon canard pieces to the side for a little extra downforce.

Sparkystav arent you putting a turbo engine in?
are you fitting an intercooler?
Intercooler is in the back, top mount to begin with then a huge one mounted at head height at the back.

Ok, just a small update but worth sharing me thinks
Got home yesterday and my bro had done a few sketch's of what he thinks the buggy should look like. He did graphic design at uni and his drawing skills are a little better than mine. He did a quick sketch and im in love!!!! This is pretty much the plan now on how the buggy will look.
As this is going to take a while to do then its not going to get done straight away, plan is to get the thing up and running and hopefully road legal over the summer. Then if that happens it will undergo the transformation over the winter months when i won't be using it. The first picture shows what the first stage will look like then the side panels will be changed over later. If i don't get it road legal by the summer then i will go for the full kit straight away and hopefully have it oin the road and looking like the second picture by next summer.
First design..............

Lexusboy Jas the down side of the second design is you wont be able to use it off road but the first design you will be able to use of road.
So where do you plan to drive this?
Not planning on using it off road:laugh: Will be road legal and track day use. It should be fine for them :Fish:

I never planned on taking it off road. The thing was designed as a 'off'road' buggy but im just not into the whole off roading thing. Plan from the start was to turn it into a on road/track weapon that was a bit different. Only problem i see with the design is it will add a little weight
