Bonnet Vents

Well we did not get of to a good start even though the vents where atlas in colour there was a difference in the two shades of silver one was a bright silver the second a darker silver shade, But not dark atlas they where both atlas in colour. Contacted Dan at Duckworth and he as ordered two new ones and will send them out but has said to keep the first two and make a matching pair from the four,So if successful in the conversion this may be a problem for others to get a matching pair. Thanks for the video interesting as to how it looks without the vent. As to dirt and water i was going to leave part open without tape to let water out which i will show in the conversion picture.Received some black vinyl wrap to go under the part where the hole in the bonnet is suppose to be.Garry

Just an update on the vents and some pictures I have all the details of how to do the job if any one is going to attempt it. As you can see from the picture its a very good fit but cant decide if to go half black or full black I think all black looks the best. Garry

Doug had a slight accident with the passenger side vent dropped it and marked the paint finish, As I could not find the paint code for Land Rover Atlas paint,I have had to order a new one from Dan and I am waiting for delivery in the next day or two.
