Help, Idea’s for Bonnet Vent

[George16v]

Ok guys I am going to be having a few subtle mods done to the car (after FCS though) one of them is going to be a custom vent in the bonnet to aid airflow to my Filter, Can you do some shopping to the pic below so I can see your ideas, The bodyshop though a replica of the bumper vents might work bnut Im not sure, Needs to be in the position shown

subtle would be louvres, anything else looks chav tastic, more cold air feeds?

 

[cat171]

personally id leave the bonnet alone. Can you not use the vent under the headlight ?
(or are you using it already) as i think a bonnet vent will look out of place.

 

[George16v]

I am using them already mate yeah, Just would like to a bit of mesh or something in front, A little different and like subtle mods that serve a purpose..

Looks weird, but can see idea, maybe needs to be inline with edge of bonnet

 

[Tom_16v]

Looks good, its different.

I will do a photoshop when I get home from work

 

[Chris1.4RT]

Someone photoshop a 16v bonnet vent onto it in the same place it would be on a 16v.

Would look wicked.

that looks mean, likin that one

 

[The Big Yin]

Yeah the 2 looks better than just one Not sure yet if i like it tho...

 

[Lunner]

Rip the fog lights out and use them for air feeds, much better and cheaper idea, also doesnt like a pile of w**k like it does with vents in the bonnet

Like that one!

Lunner- Want to keep the fogs mate - Having the bonnet resprayed anyway so only about £40 more to have the vent put in anyway

 

[George16v]

how about this?

[Eskiisbest]

Has anyone actually meshed the bottom of the bumper yet?

prefer the one each side

[George16v]

It would be a good idea as I always have a quick check to make sure nothing has bashed up the radiator, But it is a complete biatch to mesh it, Did it on the old car and it was hard enough to find the a big long enough..

 

[Eskiisbest]

do you have a picture of it really done?
