I've been fiddling around with the GRP engine cover that came with the tub to see if I can use it for the trike. It'll need some mods,
but will do the trick!
I have a couple of CF engine covers that are gathering dust and plonked one on top to see what it would look like with a big air-scoop.
I think it looks pretty cool, but it would need a fair bit of work to integrate the two of them neatly... does the fact that one's GRP and the
other is CF make this process any trickier?
... and finally - opinion please on 'the look' of both options!

Looks cool with the top air scoop, would need a bit of fairing in but cant see any reason why you shouldn't be able to stick them together with
a bit of GRP. Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

You are a legend.
What are you doing about the roll-hoop as that could affect your choice?
I'd worry about making the vehicle look too tall, but I can't yet visualise the whole vehicle.
