    As long as you are drawing air from in front of the radiator that's about as cool as you are going to get, short of doing a ram air style intake from a fog light hole or something .

    Behind the headlight might be cooler initially but the whole engine bay gets hot after a while - at least in front of the radiator there is some fresh air while you are moving.

    Introducing the new aerodynamic front end.



    Long story short someone decided to slam the brakes in front of me and the stato just couldn't stop quick enough.

    But really, did you expect such a large car to have superb braking ability? Holden is all about cost saving these days.

    atm foggies are different colour since one of the lights is new, both headlights are new however. One of the parkers is a different colour.

    Ive got all new globes coming to sort this out though.
