Mark, you know about PJL's DIY brake ducts, don't you? I suspect a cheaper plan.

Sort of, but it's a DIY thing, and I don't do DIY, because I like things to work.

On the plus side, my porterfields have just bedded in at BMVI and I like so far.

So has anyone (other than PJL who got his bodyshop guy to do it) fitted brake ducting in the UK? I've seen various US threads but I'm wondering which duct sizes are best to fit up against the rear of the faux vents (once cut out).


EDIT: Demon Tweks ducts and piping

Been toying with the idea of doing this, but I think the tubing looks unsitely and I couldn't live with it.

Back on topic. I thought the J's Racing ducts only fitted the J's front bumper Or do you have a J's front bumper chilled?

This was ages ago. I'd completely forgotten about it.

Just how often do you look at your wishbones? A bit of black piping would never be noticed and it appears very effective for track days

I'm going to be doing mine soon, got the bumper inserts (they need a little work to fit!), just need some black piping and a large metal hole cutter!

Every day I'll have you know PL

The DIY job I saw on the US site used orange piping
