Thoughts on making a fibreglass roof scoop

Summer is coming and all GTM owners will know that ventilation is not that great at anytime of year. At the moment winding down my window suffices but that’s not so elegant and makes a real racket (not to mention wind drag :-o) on the motorway.

So I’ve been cooking up something to resolve these problems (see my earlier post: Making things from fibreglass).

I took a few snaps so that you and I can visualise my idea, later (when my pc is up and running again) I’ll photoshop a mock-up onto these snaps, failing that I’ll just draw on the roof ;-)

This final one is the front splitter, it’s purpose is to reduce lift at the front of the car at high speeds… and protect the nose from kerbs and speed bumps.
As you can see it did the latter of these two jobs admirably, but it can only really do that once, so I’d better fix it up!
