Rear Clam Cutting

[wessexrfc]

I was looking at getting the rear vents cut-in behind the rear wheels, how much of a pain is it to do this, my car is silver, would I be left with the fibre glass white where its cut, does this need blowing in or not??? Cheers all

Thanks, that looks very good!!👍👍

Crist, that's brave, so it's quite easy to do and has there been any water damage where the holes have been cut??

ive cut loads of holes all over my car and didn't even think about the financial consequences lol.
I didn't do it because it was cheap fix aswell, a full respray after cutting the holes isn't exactly cheap.
i think they improve the looks of the car, which is a big part of my reasoning for doing it - my favorite holes are the one's next to the rear lights. Besides with a bit of fiber glass its easy to put back to standard.

Likewise, I feel it improves the look. Your cut outs by the lights are very good, but too fiddly for us and I wasn't going to have the rear clam resprayed, but it does look very effective.

Being a grp composite body, it is very easy to return it, if you wanted to back to how it was. I really didn't fuss too much about that, just liked the look and if it does help with getting rid of some of the trapped air within the rear clam, that's a bonus!!!👍👍
