like two guns at the hip?

I agree, aesthetically it kicks ***...just wondering if a GT28 needed two. I know a GT35 can and a GT40 absolutely does

i didn't need two but after centering the DFIC and having the extra room symmetry was the way to go for me to get the final look i was after.

Careful Johnny the British speed police will come in here and force you to prove it on the track.

Now your taking shots at me

. We could always meet at SOW for a little play time. I've never been there so watching a movie while driving around the track might calm me down a little. Or.. I can send you a vid of my track day so you can watch it from in the back seat of your car

Oh yeah. Any idea if the flares can easily be reproduced for other Cabrios?
The idea of running 255s is very tempting!

This car is a blast to drive. Well tuned, well manured and a beast when you put your foot down. My modified 335 is still upset from little playing we did on the way home. That Dyno reads SUPER low BTW. Great job tuning it Hubie.

The more I look at it, the more I like that wing.

BTW - congrats on the MC2 writeup, too. Fantastic.

Does the Cabrio Wing help reduce the dirt that quickly accumulates on the back window for those of us in northern climates that have to go through a period of top up wintering motoring?
