Here are some more terrible quality cel-phone pics I took of the 5 slots Burnco cut into my bumper, they are unfortunately at a slight angle to the road and not square to the airflow, but I am sure they will work better once my washer bottle is moved and I clean my radiators out too.

I am also not happy with the interface between my bash-plate and my bumper, it looks unfinished. I am going to make a new bash-plate which sorts this out at a later stage.
Hi Nick,

Thanks for that.

Not to be outdone, here are some even worse cell phone pics that show the gap below the ARB bar and the OEM front protector.

It's a handwidth - to help see how big it is I shoved my folded sunblind in the gap. I reckon a whole lot of useful cooling air can get lost through there.

I see an aluminium plate in my future. And look at that number plate blocking the slot between the split panels!

Now I need to look at an original OEM front end.
