Well here is a pic of the first part of the grille cut out and Aluminium mesh installed. I still have the lower part to do yet but have to do a slight mod so that it is the same as the one on 2 Fast 2 Furious which will also allow for a stronger shell on the front end as not as much to be cut out.

Once all the vents are opened up it should allow adequate cooling through for the engine. On the HPI site they have just cut big holes in the windscreens, although I know this does cool the engine, I think it spoils the looks of the car when static.

The mesh seems to let plenty of air through so far and will do even more so once the rest is opened up.....adds to the scale appearance too...!!

Regards........Mark.
