RE: Bonnet Vents

Hi

The letters on the Bonnet are not standard, although I think dealers would do them at exorbitant cost. They are easy to do provided you are very patient.

It's just a personal preference thing that I don't like the standard colour silver letters on white, silver or grey cars

On order: Volvo XC60 T5 Inscription Pro


Current: Porsche Macan, Pebble Interior, Volcano Grey, Bose, other extras which cost lots and should be standard

Gone:

Thanks for the photos CSJ, the vents looks great on yours. I have a santorini black evoque so I'm not sure if I should get gloss black vents or the shadow black chrome ones like the one in the photo below.

Can you see through them? I'm just worried on a white car wouldn't look very good with white showing through, I guess I could put some black vinyl underneath?

How about the silver ones to continue the silver on black theme? Wink

For some bizarre reason they don't show up on a regular ebay search but they are here:

Thanks for the link WB! I wasn't able to find the silver ones on eBay earlier. Silver ones would look good but I'm just a little concerned as they would stand out too much. Need to find a photo a black evoque with silver vents.

They are not see through, they are chrome at the edges and black in the middle, just thought it suited the car more than just black gloss or silver.

I previously had a white coupe and I thought the gloss black letters looked great on a white car

These things always come down to personal taste but for me I would go for a black vent for a dynamic (to match grill) and silver/grey for prestige or pure again to match highlights of the car. For me am not sure the black vents work with a pure or prestige unless the grill has been changed.
