The Baby RR - 2 Door Version - has vents recessed into its bonnet. The 4 door version doesnt.

You can buy the vents and you could cut away the mountings and bond them to a 4 Door's Bonnet (I think !).
Has anyone done that ?

Apologies if this post is in the wrong place ?!

No, the 3dr bonnets have a recess pressed into the outer skin, there is no way to retro-fit the proper vents.

Are the bonnets interchangeable?

I am sure someone on the babyrr forum has done just this.

The bonnets are interchangeable; same mounting, dimensions etc

As per the original poster you can buy the vents and take the clips off them, they would then need bonding to the bonnet and also some blacking out in the centre to stop the solid bonnet showing through, unless you have a black car or indeed want people to see there's no real cut out.

OEM 3dr bonnets are just under £600 from dealer.

this post says a lot about SOME Evoque owners - good enough reason to remove the Range Rover badge - only joking - maybe!!
