Before I purchased the Sagaris I looked at turning the T350 into a Sagaris and in the end it I decided it was (much) easier saving for a bit longer and going for the Sagaris.
Even with the Sagaris front and back-end you`d have to modify it to fit (the Sagaris is wider) and it would have cost more (in the end) than buying the Sag

Just my opinion (and not directed at anyone)....but I've never understood why anyone would want to make there car look like a different model or pinch bits off other models of cars (especially a T350) If you want the mods, buy the proper thing and if you cant afford save your cash till you can.

But if just for practical purposes .... heat isn't actually a big issue? You could argue it's too hot around engine mounts & clutch area, especially if used a lot in slow moving traffic. If this is your aim, this is best (and rather more simply/cheaply) solved by a decat to remove all the extra heat that the 2 cats produce.

Don't want to make it look like a different model but I do like upgrades which improve the car or the way it performs. As far as my car is concerned I already have the "proper thing" thanks and I am quite capable of budgeting my cash. FEE 50 said:

I was not hoping for anything.
Correct I have no experience with the louvres, and didnt claim for one second to! I was simply giving you my comments which were apparently invited?

If your after it for practical purposes to let the heat out of the engine compartment that does sound like a good idea as they are hot buggers... However I'm sorry but TVR and "practical" in the same sentance did make me smile.FEE 50 said:

Didn't have them in the same sentence at any point. I said that the vents were for practical purposes which is completely different. If you don't want to improve some of the shortcomings of your car thats fine by me but some people, particularly those with mechanical knowledge and sympathy, will always strive to make improvemnts. Upgrading is popular with a lot of TVR owners but others are happy with the standard product, warts and all.

Ian,
I know where you're coming from - moving from a Tamora to a T350, you see 8-10 degrees hotter running.
When I had my 350. I thougt about doing something with the bonnet, but looked at enlarging some of the gaps that exist. In the end I did nothing (well when I say I did nothing, I bought a Sagaris, but that runs no cooler than a T350, and still runs hotter than a Tamora).
Hope you're enjoying the new car.
