Front brake cooling

[Merde Francais]

I'm hoping someone has some experience on this. I'm looking to get some cooling into the front brakes. I've currently got 25mm spacers so I'm aware that less air will be getting through to the brakes through the wheels but I want to keep them on.

Has anyone made some DIY cooling ducts? I was thinking about removing the front fog lights to fit some as they aren't essential and aren't so low that they won't pick up too much water and dirt.

Ive seen some carbon or Kevlar ones that a company make but they're into £100s, I'd rather go for a 330mm upgrade if I'm going to spend that much.

Cheers

Some guys do it on the 182s. Can't imagine it'd be too difficult, just some tubing and cut a hole in the arch liner, some sort of grid to stop stones coming through over the front.

Cant ns see how you'd benefit all that much though.

Probably won't be entirely necessary but if I'm doing track days then it will help to keep the brakes as cool as possible

I have them on my 200.
Main problem is the window washer fluid bottle, this has to be relocated a bit so you can fit the airduct through.

It's not that easy, but doable. And it helps. A lot. Even with the 330 kit. Best combo ever.

Do you have the Kevlar kit? What did you do to relocate the washer bottle?

Its self made, no Kit. Heat reformed the Bottle a bit and changed the fixing point a bit.
