Why not just cut a rectangle in a similar shape to the other vents so it doesnt look so out of place?

i think the 3 holes are easier than trying to get straight lines and shape a hole to look like a vent. I can always try it later, but the OE vent has sculpeted sides etc so i'd need a few hours with some GRP and shit

why though....

The holes are even, and pretty damn straight to the shape of the bumper. They are in the correct place.

It would look better if the were higher up, but that would defeat the purpose.

The whole front bumper needs sprayed anyway too... its all scuffed from the tyre wall, the IC vents need finished off... still very much a work in progress... but as always..... i'd rather spend on things that i feel are going to make the car better, not just look better

fuck the no plate

Fee was playing with the hole saw when we tidied one of the garages. Made a few holes in a bottle of coolant. Shes obsessed with it now too. Holes will be making there way onto the car. Back bumper, maybe the front flat above the plate.... and for sure some of the no structural interior parts.

and to those who said it was a mess.... would you argue with this if it was behind you



fuck being a mess... it looks mean as a pitbull chwing on your testies
