    Default Bargeboard

    It is only stating that bodywork can only have a gap if it is necessary for engine cooling not if the body work is necessary at all.

    You are misreading what I wrote.

    The gap created by the bargeboard ( and therefore the bargeboard itself since it is what is creating the gap) has to be shown as necessary for engine cooling to be considered legal.

    Default or shock, or brake cooling!

    Yeah, that barge board is designed in such a way that -- in swirling and turbulent air created by preceeding cars -- causes a cork-screwing highly excited stream of air to cross over the top of the car's shock covers (which are located directly over the dampers, of course) this leading to a .0001 F decrease in the damper's oil temperature. Therefore those barge-board thoroughly and completely in compliance with the 2012 GCR!

    Right?
