Reply to "Goose mouth dimensions / help"

It appears that the starting point on the body is good. Here is a straight on picture of my car, the lower scoop is untouched.  You can actually blow this up and make a stiff cardboard pattern to look at it on the car.  

I would make a cardboard pattern and go from there.

The camera was at a low enough point to use the image for that.

However, the outboard vertical line of the scoop is not vertical in side view. It also goes rearward as it goes down.

Look closely and you will see the the lower horizontal edge has a slight rising curve in it as it goes to the right and left

Then a small radius.

The front view angle of the vertical element is at the same angle as the outboard vertical element of the grill above it. They are in harmony.

>My car is not here so I cannot take a closeup picture of it for you.

Changing that scoop to get more air is a fruitless excersize as it is probably passing all the air that it can already.

The second shot gives you a good image of the shape of the end of the scoop. Do ot make it look "Mechanical" it has subtle shape everywhere.



There are other shots in Bella Mangusta but I think these are the best.
