Went to see this last night. This is the best picture I have.

If you look where the arrow is, there's like an old skool style aerial coming out of the bumper in front of the passenger headlight. You can pull it up like a conventional aerial. I asked and he said it was on the car when it came into the country and they're used for cornering

Can anyone explain? New to me.

only thing i can think of is some kind of marker to line up against the apex or something, being as its the furthest point away from the driver if what hes saying isnt bullshit

Do you still have the rope line with it? they're popular in Japan, they are used to tighten the turn in on cornering.

It's quite common in Japan, it's so you know where the far front corner is so that you dont catch it in a car park. Comes with free semi retro jdm scene points.

Not that hard to work out ? I don't know how wide the car is, so feels wide like I'm in a tank, didn't realise it was such a difficult thing to read the topic first.

I think Jambo didn't realise Meganes had suddenly grown into such huge cars.

If that's the case then I will have to say I'm a abysmal driver not up to the standards of the CS elites !

Its just so you can see the corner.

Taxi aerial would have electrical connections on it which that one doesn't.

Plus, Impreza Taxi?
