You can make your own using the OEM undertray with some mods: Starts at post #60 :)

That's my pal Ali.
Unfortunately he has just sold that set up on which would have been a great buy for you Select.

It wouldn't work with the Airbox conversions we done to the cars so it had to go. It would be my choice of design for sure though. Nice and neat.

Think you would need to remove hub etc to fit cooling duct, so probably turn into a bigger job, all good fun :smokin:

No not yet, as i was told by the company that the kit is currently undergoing a redesign with improved cooling ducts and more carbon :thumbs:

Recieved the redesigned kit couple weeks ago, and will have it installed this week.
The middle piece is now made entirely made from carbon. It looks amazing.. way too beautiful to hide it underneath the car, if you ask me.:bigcry:

The Kit comes with all ducts and mounting hardware included. Also included is a guide and templates on how to mate the a-concepts air collector to your stock undertray.
Only thing that is not included in the kit are the backing plates. But its no problem to source those, plenty of companys make these. In spirit of the redesigned kit i chose to go with carbon ones :gayfight:

Where is the air coming from ?

It uses the same air that goes through the radiators.

Hi Mike :beer:
Yes, i will make some pictures when its all installed. Also im trying to close off one side of the duct and leave the other open and then shoot a few pictures with a thermal imaging camera. To see how much of a difference it actually makes.
