Hm me too

I like it but there you go! Was it something you knocked up or acquired and if so from where please? I like the idea of positive air pressure v. negative through the standard louvres...

The scoop/vent itself came from a marine supplier (Marine Bazar), so is marine grade stainless, I then cut and fitted the mesh across the front, which is araldited in using tabs folded back inside the vent, and is set back about 6mm from the rim.

 

From some angles I like it then I walk around the car and think no.......

consider a cold air feed, such as the weber part on http://nw.rhocar.org/parts2.htm, or make your own.

I quite like it. I've been considering how to get cold air into the air inlet on my Superspec (Rover engine with the air inlet right at the back!) I thought about a bonnet scoop but wasn't sure how I could mount it on a louvred bonnet and make it look good. It looks great on a bonnet without louvres though.

 

I guess its down to what you like. You'll probably get a 50:50 response from us lot.

im still a lover of the side mounted louvres on the nw site, was going to order a pair but the link no longer works

[Guest vacinc]

i think it looks fine, and suits the styling of the car, and well fitted top marks to you

[Guest a8dyc]

Hi,

 

I like it,could do with one of them on my S7 it has no louvres on the bonnet at all.

 

I think it fits in a treat.

I think it's fine either way.... better than the rather "un-subtle" things I have!! (not fitted by me).

 

Do seem to work well though!

I never noticed them on your car Dan - now I do!!

 

The side louvres are available from car builder solutions I think Tom.

Just do a search on Google for stainless marine supplies. Tons of people sell them. You can also find them on Ebay.

 

On my red one I used stainless Land Rover Wing vents.

 

 

 

amazing how much heat they release.

I don't much like the look of the scoop, much prefer the side vents, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter what I think, it's you car and your opinion that counts!
