Bonnet Vents

Can any one with a 3door please give me some measurement of postion of the vents,as distance from edge nearest to windscreen to the vent and from the bonnet crease to the edge of the vent. Going to have a go at fitting them onto the 5door bonnet without cutting a hole in the bonnet. Just waiting for delivery from Dan at Duckworths.It has been said it needs the coupe bonnet to fit them but i want a challenge to make them fit the 5door bonnet.

DYNAMIC SD4 AUTO 5 DOOR WITH COUPE BONNET VENTS, FRONT GRILL BADGE, CHROME LETTERING, SILVER ROOF RAILS.

RE: BONNET VENTS

Excellent news - I'm also convinced that with a little trimming and the right kind of adhesive tape that this should be a nice straightforward modification.

How much were the vents out of interest?

Great - thanks. How are you thinking of fixing them on? I'm guessing that using the same type of double sided adhesive tape as they use for the badges should do the job. Just have to be careful when jet washing.

RE: BONNET VENTS

I think I'll sell my Dynamic with all these fakes driving around!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Yep, saw the near twin if mine in town this morning - same Plus Lux Dynamic Coupe Sd4 in Fuji but running on the Black wheels. On a sunny day and clean they looked good.
