Re: what's behind lower cladding?

Do you track your car? Unless you're seriously abusing your brakes I don't see a need to extra cooling. Running larger wheels isn't taxing enough to justify so much work. Even the guys who track their cars regularly don't have any kind of special cooling for the brakes, at least to my knowledge.

With the structure of the car in that area and the systems hidden inside (subframe mounting and fuel lines mainly) I think it would be a fair amount of work to run cooling ducts in that area. Unless you're really hung up on the cosmetic appeal of having inlets there (and don't get me wrong, I think it could look awesome), it would likely be far easier to have some ducts that pick up on the airflow under the car and funnel it to the brakes.
