Sorry to hijack this thread, as per your quote, i understand the mechanics of this, yet what i am struggling with is why so much wasted unused surface area. The motorbike piccy above, to me, have it right, the vast array of styles whether functional or neccessary is left to the imagination. Whether this can be used in the car industry i havnt a clue, perhaps car weight and stress loading dictate it as a nono??? How many agree with me on this? Just think how much more paint or bling we could see behind the wheels instead of a solid lump of steel and a painted caliper.. ps I dont mean to belittle the origional post and piccy, they look very good, i just feel we or the industry could do better. :popcorn2:
