The side or your existing air intake is already going to act as a scoop, so I don't see a need to extend it forward to be more scoopy. The air on the orange Pelican Tech Porsche scoop thing appears to be coming off a large solid area, the turn signal and such, so it would be moving sideways quite a bit. There I can see the need to extend the scoop on it. On your car, the air is being gobbled up by the main air intake inboard, so the air is coming straight into your lower side intakes. I really think it will work well for you. Good luck! Super cool project you have there.

Thanks for your argument, makes a lot of sense to me!

Last question...
where would you guys open the rear part of the vane to let the air go out against the tyre?
I'd say the inner lower part, given that I have lips on the bumper to decrease pressure under the car...
