The front skirt is pushed out like that on purpose, the car runs a flat bottom and the thought of a largish bump leaving the front floating on a cushion of air isn't appealing to me LOL, those gaps are the getout as without them and due to the shape of the undertray theres a small chance of it getting a bit messy. > Air going under the car will lift the front a bit, particularly at high speeds. > Lowering the air dam sends more air over the nose and forces the front down. > You will gain some drag. Its drag I'm trying to combat at the moment hence the use of a flat bottom on the car, its got a very very mild rake angle on it at the moment. I'm going to try and get some windtunnel time early next year so that should reap big rewards but I think with a slight adjustment to the setup it should be okay, we'll see ;-) Thanks for the interest.
