Theres a lot of heat under that bonnet when youve been giving your DS3 a fair old spin round the block, or track, and it needs to go asap for best performance. Hot air into engine not good for performance, cold/ cooler than surrounding (the engine) much better.
After a non too supportive comment from a long standing member on here, which seems to have been removed, thought I would share what I did to remove this hot air, to let other members decide on whether it looks pants or not. Pre-fabricated vents are not available specifically for the DS3 bonnet as yet, as there is only a very small area they can be fitted on the bonnet, as the majority is double skinned for safety purposes.
Even if it isnt the prettiest, i do notice a better top end performance and thats what its all about for me.
A lot of peeps have been very complimentary, but what do you think? Quite like it myself, and certainly gets attention
There are still a few more considerations for my bonnet, altho number one is get a DA Polisher. LOL
