Thanks valbmw! I was just browsing through the modified thread and came across it. A bit too aggressive for me.

You're welcome! Yes, the center fins look pretty much accidental. Inspired by DTM though: http://performancedrive.com.au/audi-...0-rally-0216/#!

Looks like its ass is draggin on the ground. I do like the Formula 1 Rain Light though (under the centre fins) normally used in wet weather or when under Pit Lane speed limiting.

I didn't know that's what that middle piece was Jet. Any other clearer pictures if it? What does it do? I know what a diffuser does but what u mentioned about wet conditions really interest me!

I'm fairly confident that's what it is and I'd be prepared to bet the mother-in-law on it In terms of what an F1 Rain Light does, they are a high intensity LED light under the rear end of every Formula 1 car and they engage (with a specific sequence I believe) for wet weather racing conditions as well as when the driver chooses 'Pit Lane mode' (mandatory speed limiter) from their multi-function steering wheel. It's an added visibility safety feature.

There will be heaps of vids if you Google it. This McLaren link will show you the light up close http://www.mclarenelectronics.com/Pr...duct/Rainlight

Personally I'd like to have one and link it to the Dynamic Brake Light function which is standard on our Bimmers (at least here in Oz). You are aware that our rear brake lights flash rapidly under heavy braking just as an extra warning to cars behind you that you've pulled the reins in hard on your horses
