As above ....

Has anyone on here seen or done it

Tempted to go for that haggard race car look whilst “improving air flow”

Trouble if you just remove it is that you'll be able to see/get to the loom, and it will get absolutely covered in crap which you won't be able to clean easily. The front of the door isn't the most aerodynamic either

Plus a lot of members will cry

If you're able to, get it done in the same style as above.

Bare in mind big mikes grey prelude had custom made front wings and bumper that are much wider than standard. So technically they arnt cut and bent in but pertrude out.

The FWD, AFT and TOP of the front wings are in the original position though (Because, headlight, door and bonnet), so that portion that disappears into the arch (The bit Louckie is interested in) would be the same (gen aside).

Yeah, I think he basically just pulled the middle/top of the arch up and out (Possibly adding in new metal).

Yer would make more sense to do that.
