Thats probably coz i had them done "reversed", so that i get more cold air drawn down onto the I/C.

They usually do the louvres the other way round, which does look a bit smoother etc, and "sucks" warm air out.......

I love em! Well thats a bit OTT, but there a nice and subtle alternative!

Kerry - yeah, took him around 1.5hr's after i'd managed to decide what i wanted!! lol..... ur right, its tricky! i was there for like 15mins umming and arring bout it! lol

While i waited, i chatted to the other guys who were having their engines tuned/lowered/bodykits done etc.

Born_upsideout.......Yeah, car is booked into the coachworks to have the bonnet flashed back over in blue. Also need to get the underneath done really......but thats not 100% necessary.

Believe me, bonnet venting wasnt at the top of my list of priorities, but the intercooler needs more cold air now.

IMO, tacky is a massive fiberglass scooby or vitara vent etc, especially on a subtle car. i think i made the best choice i could really.

Kerry posted their website, its got the contact number, and the address on there. The place is down near Portsmouth, hampshire. Near Petersfield.

Its £5 a vent for upto 20, then £2 after. They can also do wings as well, but they gotta be off the car first.
