JNC Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Has anyone got a template for a SV to fit whiskers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David aka Blue7 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I doubt if CC are that precise John. If no one else responds, I can send you some photos and rough measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNC Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Thanks that would be very helpful . I am surprised of the lack of response !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA Sevener Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 John,Here is some information about the whiskers I fitted to my CSR, so same as an SV.I hope this helps.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David aka Blue7 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 JohnMark's link seems to answer your question. Here is a photo of my former CSR if it is of any further helphttp://www.kemnay.info/?p=7584Don't worry about lack of response, it's probably due to a fat man dressed in red with very long white whiskas on his nose cone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNC Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Thanks to you both. From your photos I will be able work out the correct fit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNC Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 One thing are there two sizes of whiskers ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA Sevener Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 John,Not as far as I know. I bought mine from CC and they are fractionally under 20cm along the straight edge that get affixed to the nose.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNC Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Just looked on CC and different part No's for S3 and CSR . The set I've just bought are 15 cm so I'm thinking they are for S3 !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David aka Blue7 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 20 cm on my CSR ... size matters They were fitted to the CSR along with the flat topped cycle wings to reduce front end lift by an apparent 50%. Probably you will only ever be the person to notice the difference but if you are like me it will always be a bit of a niggle, so I would be inclined to change them ... unless you want to be one up on everyone and buy the 20cm whiskas and then fit the 15 cm ones above ... could be quite cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNC Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 You've lost me !. But you're right about the niggle if I fit these shorter ones I'll always be waiting for some smart a### to tell me they are wrong. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Do any of you seriously believe these make a blind bit of difference to your aerodynamic brick on wheels? Seems to me, that all they're likely to do is get in the way when you're cleaning the car!Oz..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA Sevener Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Oz, there is likely minimal true aero effect, and you would need to be going well above legal speeds to benefit, but that is not the point - they look cool!John, I think this is what Blue7 was suggesting something along these lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucus72 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 My cats without whiskers would look odd. There is talk of smoothing the airflow around the front suspension. But I don't believe that, surely too far away? Would be fascinating to do some fluid dynamics on 'with' and 'without'. Is it wrong of me to like 'with' simply because all cats should have whiskers? Interestingly I have 3 real cats and the fatter ones have longer whiskers. Maybe aerodynamic efficiency at play in nature....hah hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David aka Blue7 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Ozzy ... you could fit them with velcro and remove them before you clean your nose I don't wish to get into a boring BC debate about it but as a previous poster pointed out they are probably only really effective at high speed ... but to some of us they just look aesthetically pleasing, just like all the other personalisations we make to our cars ... the classic one being the "go faster stripes" The fact that they have been fitted to the 620R must surely indicate that they are of some performance value other than merely aesthetics but who knows apart from CC and who cares ... if you want to fit them for whatever reason then gof for it ... before the EU pass a law to ban them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
