By the way just noticed the tape looks like it has a few gaps - I left them there to allow water to drain away easily. One at the back for when going on the motorway and two at the front for when sitting still. It rains a LOT here in Glasgow!
Had a quick look back on here and some people appear to have put them on straight whereas some appear to have put them on following the lines of the bonnet creases. I think the coupe seems to have them following the lines of the bonnet crease, correct?

All MY 2016 cars get the bonnet vents, regardless of Coupe or 5 Door so if you don't fancy your chances with the tinsnips and glue then you could always buy a new bonnet now

I've just received a set of aftermarket black bonnet vents (with 3M trim tape) for my MY15 5 door Dynamic all the way from China. They have Range Rover on them and aesthetically they look just like the OEM ones I had on my coupe. Awesome quality and only £67 delivered from China. Can't wait to fit them! I didn't ideally want the Hawke ones or want to start butchering my bonnet or buy a new one, so these fit the bill perfectly for me. Good to hear that all models from MY16 are due to get them, Tim. Lol, darn those bean counters who decided that 5 door Evoques wouldn't have them all along.

With two bonnet designs to make they will be saving money by only having a single design, even if it means having to have one extra process in the manufacture (stamping out the blank which they already do for Coupe's). Also helps make the car about 500grm lighter!

Mine just arrived and looks like quality. (product link - aliexpress)

My car is all black, so I got the all black version.

It had paper templates for easy fit. I scanned them for you (attached).

I wait for my wife to bring the car next week Smile

Thanks for the template Condei. Ive just printed it off can you tell me where the template needs to be put and how it works? thanks

RE: Bonnet Vents - Condei - 02-11-2015 01:04pm

I think it's really simple, just align the markups

RE: Bonnet Vents - tattoobob26 - 02-11-2015 06:19pm

Yea thanks when I had a good look at them I worked it out.

RE: Bonnet Vents - Turbolover - 05-11-2015 07:01pm

The mine from Aliexpress.
I think that is the better bonnet vents, It is perfectly suited to the surface without being raised by anywhere-

just come across this post, was thinking of sticking/adding these to mine... Would be good to hear from a few member on posts past from this thread who did the Mod and could give a bit of info in how they held up over the years from jet washing etc

Thx Thumbs Up
