Is there any OEM panel to delete the brake duct inlets? My intercooler pipes are going to occupy the same space as my brake duct inlets and if there is an OEM panel available Id rather use that than make my own.
Brake duct block offs?

I have the same issue but no I don't think anything is available. I'd reccomend leaving it open anyway sicne you won't have the ducts at elast some air will go through there. Maybe some black mesh? -
Hmm, ill probably end up making some sheet metal block offs then. I was planning on making an aluminum belly pan under the front portion of the motor from the lip of the bumper back...I am going to add a pair of NACA ducts to this to draw in air and duct it to the brakes so Ill still have functional brake cooling while hiding the IC pipes.
Some black radiator paint the IC should do wonders too'92 MTech cabrio: Tesla P85 powered

What brakes/wheel+tire are you running with your FI motor?

Jon, you could fit the Style 5's without modification if you used the E30 M3 5 lug parts, but I guess that is a non-issue now.Comment
