Yet another question from me,bonnet vents

[MyM8V8]

Yep, better when they're installed the right way round (As in Gary's and Jims cars)

[Behold81]

Why would you install them the other way??? Doesn't flow with the car!

I like th fitted the right way. I was tempted as I'm not a fan of nostrils in the vt. Fine on a RO but the VT looks a bit odd

[Behold81]

That and the nostrils serve no use.

Will be going on soon

I want the set with supercharged embossed in to it!

I could do with photoshopping a set on to the car.

That's what I have coming. The OEM parts I am sure will be better quality. And I do likely those Bentley strip vents so they will be going on as well, again in a recessed way so they don't look aftermarket. Allot more work. It I think it will be worth it.

It's VERY effective

Just for info it was the oem Jaguar ones with supercharged embossed down the side with a chrome strip in the middle and the other ones are not on my current car and of course would be fitted proffesionally,they are in the parts section of P/H under Jaguar

[preciousmetal]

Yup, the Bathurst ones in the first pic are fitted the wrong side, that's why the look odd

the straight edge should be on the inner part of the bonnet

Fibreglass init mister?

[Gary H 2008]

Yup, so far so good.
Can withstand the heat and 180mph at Bruntingthorpe.
Too bad the Vector vents decided to eject themselves at that speed though

[rich24v]

Got these to fit......one day.
Need to make a press tool first though as want recess fit as per OE.

Good call. All go, no need for show.

[wav8]

Suppose that's what it's all about no two cars are exactally the same different strokes for different folks don't really require any more go got more than enough at the moment suppose it's all about putting your mark on the car whether it be vents wheels engine mods etc.

[Behold81]

I don't need more power in my car. I love to tinker and tune. I have never had the opportunity like this before so I'm taking it and running with it. To me it beats spending my money on beer down the pub.

Looks are on my agenda too mainly on the interior as it's just GREY GREY GREY!!!

I'm thinking carbon and cream to break it up. Maybe piano black on some bits too. Still deciding. Would like to change the leather colour. Speaking to some a colour change is not great as it wears through easily on high use areas.

Anyone got any experience in this???

This is what they look like fitted

[wav8]

Looks a tidy job Moif will have to wait till spring may consider this changing exhaust from headers back,if not too cheeky could you give an idea on cost.
