Panel front wishbone area.

Hi all,

Something that i might have overlooked on my build is a panel in the front wishbone area.

Just wondered what opinions people have on this and whether this is a recommended thing to do for a particular reason, or just personal preference for aesthetics etc.

Cheers,

Chris.

I panelled mine originally, but won't following the changes I'm making. Should let more air out of engine bay.

It also made attching wishbones a PITA

I personal think it looks better filled in. Also not sure it would improve the air flow as the major problem is getting the air out behind the engine near to the foot well, the Dax style panel flair would work best for that problem.
