I see the holes that you are trying to use but why not just cap those and mount the scoops from the edges to the clam? Are you going to mount a bracket for the 3rd hole in the rear of the scoop?
I haven't finished the rear upper brackets. I'll start on my second attempt tomorrow. Tonight was more learning than progress. The fins will be behind the mesh and scoop so I don't think they should be visible. If the fins are an eyesore while being behind the mesh, then they will just have to be cut out. If you unbolt your exige scoops, and I really would like some high-res photos, you'll see that I mounted the lower bracket in the same location (approximate) as the factory lower bracket of the exige. Again, I believe the mesh will hide the fins and the lower bracket. Attached is my reference to the factory brackets for a lotus exige, from the Reverie carbon fiber install manual. http://www.reverie.ltd.uk/en/fitting...outerducts.pdf
