Catch Can on

Looks good Chris, did you have them professionally laser cut.

No- just carefully cut them out- took quite a while and patience. Then finished the edges off.

Not a bad idea at all and very tastefully done. No silly ram air type scoop but rather a nicely done convection hot air vent. Something that could well come in handy downunder. Often after a hards run on a hot day I prop the bonnet open to look for the water leaks from the turbo (grrrr) and can't help notice the oven opening like rush of hot air.

Interesting. Only thing I am concerned is the shits and snow (in winter) that gets sucked under the bonnet.

[Chris_Blue]

when the car has a "good run" the heat coming out the vents is surprisingly hot, and takes at least an hour to calm down
this bonnet is a spare, and probably only be on for summer months, so not too much rain

however, the vents are quite easy to cover up to stop horrible weather entering the engine bay, by means of a simple easy cover.. tested to over 100mph ;-)

i am thinking about another vent in the centre between the 2 existing ones, but that may be too much

Lol its going to look like K.I.T from Knightrider, just need some red led lighting in the centre vent.

Oh........... At least you have the original bonnet as well. Is it the angle of the photo or is the one on the left a little wonky ? Is that cause of the strengtheners under the bonnet ?

Why not fabricate a bonnet lift kit to the hinges...just a thought

yes- thinking that myself- would make life easier
can feel the engine a little livelier at the top end
