Bonnet Vents

A picture of the vents.

I would love the vents on mine, but not convinced of how easy it would be.

If you take a closer look, the bonnet metalwork is recessed around the vents, so not just a case of cutting the right size hole

I think the ideal is to see how good or bad they look stuck on without cutting the metal work.
It could look like a right pigs ear, my concern is how much of the panel colour will show around the centre grille part.
Will it look to false! We need a picture of one placed on a flat bonnet please

Could just put some sort of black covering under the vent so that you can't really see the paintwork underneath. Would then just appear pretty similar to a normal coupe vent.

I'd be very interested in doing this if I was just able to stick them out without cutting anything.. interested to see how it goes.

I was thinking you could put some stick a piece of black vinyl wrap under the mesh area so you can't see the body colour paint.

Any chance you could do a sideways on photo of the vent pieces to show what needs to be trimmed off the base to get a flat surface?

Garry, you have a PM

Just a update on the vents received the item today from Dan at Duckworth and after looking at the item have ordered the other side this is going to be an easy job, i will take some photos as i go along but first impression there are 4 small lugs and 2 pegs all plastic have to be cut off this then gives you a flat surface on the vent, it is very light in weight being all plastic so fixing with automotive tape will be o.k. but you can use land rover silicone just to make sure. I will take photos as i go and post them. Tim a big thank you for the help.Garry

Definitely interested if it's just a case of sticking them on with a bit of modification to the vents to cut the lugs etc off.

Will be interesting to see how they look without having the slight recess into the bonnet.

There is only one way of doing this right...
