functional bonnet vents

[williamsvts]

are they gay?

[ryhornvtr]

No. But where and for what will make the difference.

[williamsvts]

putting 172 TB on car and thinking of putting filter directly onto it so need a supply of cold air to it.

i was thinking the same thing last night mate,
if it serves a purpose then imo its not gay...

[craig180]

I'm thinking of cuttnig out a massive hole at the top of my new bonnet and meshing it - weight saving and engine cooling ftw. F*ck the style junkies!

[Foggy]

Mine works well.....

it will look fine aslong as you get the right one. as a saxo is a smallcar a scooby style vent would look silly, it was on a red citituning car a fe week ago on ebay and didnt look right.
i vent that was indented inwards and not a outer bulge would look good, i'll find a pic now

Craig: its raining, im not driving it in the rain
RAC: *sniggers*

[Foggy]

Also, was sat on the startline of the first stage of the Wyedean, and the amount of heat coming out was unbelieveable!

[Jamie]

Id say if done properly it will look ok, anyway if it works who gives a fk what it looks like?
obviously you will make it as inconspicuous as possible lol

[NICK2506]

tbh everyone will think its just been stuck and serve no purpose and therefore it may look gash. i dunno though.

[Karl]

Wouldnt it look better and serve same purpose if you routed it to the grille?
Bought some morettes and routed it to a missing lens?
Routed it to the foglight hole?

[Liam_]

Nowt wrong with them if they're done properly. I like the look of the Metro GTI ones tbh... could maybe get some off ebay and spray them the colour you're doing the wheels?

[KamRacing]

how about running a lower and deeper core radiator then use the whole grille area to duct air to your throttlebody.

Kev

[evans1089]

On certain cars they serve an important purpose; ie cooling.
On cars that don't need it or set up to need one, i wouldnt bother imo.

[williamsvts]

air filter will be directly on throttle body though, so will serve a purpose.
not paying money for morrettes either, daylight robbery imo.

was thinking something small like a renault 19 16v vent???

[williamsvts]

something like these

[dobbo_1]

could you get it to sit flush? wouldnt look to bad then imo

[williamsvts]

prob not. im not paying for someone to fit it so just doing it myself.

[vts_nico]

the second intake from the pics looks best imo.
if you could get it to sit flush.

[williamsvts]

decided, most people that see my car with it on will think im a nob, but its gunna be there for a reason so not really arsed what they think. :P

[bullit]

whats gripfill?

lol. i thought youd no what that is

[bullit]

get the last one. cut a big hole in bonnet. fit from the underneath and filler round it so its looks flush, will look good ;)

[williamsvts]

dont wanna spray whole bonnet and dont wanna pay for anyone to do anything though. was wanting to cut bonnet, paint scoop and bond it on.

[stuchad]

go with the second one imo mate..
