Thres a blue R reg cerb for sale on ebay( i did try and put a link to it) Any one shed any light on this cerbs hole?? A good cooling addition or cosmetic madness?
Sort of reminds me of the Carisma cerb.

This one?

There are a couple like this - Scotty_d has a version of it - he'd know how effective it is.

I'm not sure that would do much unless you're moving, and I've never found the cerb to get too hot when moving.

Dean_ratpac had a mod to the bonnet further forward which re-directed air downstream of the radiator up over the top of the bonnet. Now that I would think worth considering if that is the problem you want to fix...

Edited to say, ignore me, that IS the mod I am talking about!!! Sorry...

It is bound to help with cooling one way or another - it's a big hole to the 'outside'. However, I believe that the main benefit of this modification (which was done by Plasticman) is to keep the nose down at high speed. He also did this for Mikes race car (Itsallyellow).

i have a similar solution on my griff bonnet. the advantage is 2 fold. as previously stated it keeps the front down becasue the air flowing through the rad is directed up and over the bonnet. it also keeps the engine bay cooler becasue most of the hot air from the rads exits through the vent rather than backwards over the engine. i cant post a photo cos its too big.

As said mainly for front end down force and cooling I guess, I bought my cerb with this bonnet And it has grown on me as I am not one for body mods but I kind of like it and will just leave it as is now.

Go on a few shots

Thanks for the response, it's nice to see another cerb out there with the same mod. I'm in the market for another cerb, maybe I'll go have a look at it. The owner is putting some more pictures up tomorrow.
