he reckons the first thing is the flat pan, second is slice the rear of the front wings so you can see the rear of the front tyres. get the car as low and flat as you can. kill the lift on the front with louvers on the wing tops and even ducts on the bonnet, a bit like the elise.

Thanks Gavin! I'm really glad to hear that his recommendations are what I've been thinking about doing. Gives me a little bit more confidence that I'll actually get some results for my efforts.
