Bonnet Raisers

Dude don't bump after half an hour, it aint gonna do you any favours with admin and mods or make people reply any quicker!

If you want my opinion, which I was going to give regardless, I think they are the best thing ever.. for making your car look like it's owned by a chav (assuming you mean the little things that raise the bonnet slightly?) I'm sure they have some purpose if you're running something serious under the bonnet, but I really really don't like them otherwise. That's my personal opinion though, if you like them - go for them.
 
Anyone got any pics i have no idea what you are talking about rofl.

Do they just raise the bonnet, wouldnt it then just look open all the time?
 
Unless it's there for a reason I.E an induction kit sitting up under/near the scuttle panel then no.

Would let more water in surely, those already-delicate little French electrics will just LOVE that! :eek:
 
dont know really, ment to help with engine cooling i got told,

warm air risers so thats where the hottest point would be i think so quickest point for the heat to escape.

i honestly dont know though
 
I doubt they would let cool air in tbh looking at them they will just help with the hot air going out, same principle to be honest. Looks way better than a bonnet scoop would on a clio any way.

doesn't work, actually does the reverse as you get an area of low pressure behind the raises section. The air passing over the bonnet and onto the screen actually stops the hot air leaving the bay

The area of low pressure formed here also increases the lift generated by the front end at speed and increases the vehicles drag so in theory will cause a decrease in fuel consumption and acceleration (although on a clio it may be a minor difference!)
 
a guy at work has them on his saxo, i thought he crashed until he told me what they were, look shite.
 
Looks proper pony on a clio in my opinion! My mate had them on his RS turbo and they looked pretty mint, the block that raise's the bonnet had RS printed on it and it was all shiny shiny metal. But on a clio.... NAH!!!
 
they look w**k,

had them on mine for abit,
car looks soo much better when the pannels accually meet properly lol
