Naca Vents ?

[SGHOM]

just got my naca vents today, & now not sure what to do ?? any suggestions ??
fit one, on the near side ??
fit two, one either side as in picture ? [ a little imagination needed here ! still to be lined up, cut in, & painted ]
go the whole hog & fit a bonnet scoop as well ??
or.......... take them back to the shop & forget the whole idea ??? :$ :$

[enigma]

One each side, but a bit closer together

failing that.....back to the shop!

Delete your numberplate derek!!!

[SGHOM]

Delete your numberplate derek!!!

you must have good eyesight !!! I couldn't see it, so I didn't delete !!

Sorry mate, back to the shop for me

[Nick VR4]

mmm Think I agree with Pete to be honest
What you could do is try and get a VR4 bonnet out the scrap yard Dont know if a normal galant bonnet would fit and have a play

[Nick Mann]

The VR4 bonnet is slightly higher than the others. The shape is basically the same, but the shaped part in the middle is a little higher. I don't know if the higher profile bonnet ever went on the sports, etc, but my V6-24's bonnet was the lower style.

[SGHOM]

the pic is a bit misleading. the outside rim, [approx 1 inch all round ] will not be seen. that will be blended into the bonnet. all you will actually see is the 4" wide vent part.
A BDA said, I'm going to move them a little closer together. & hopefully it will look OK !! :$

[Nick VR4]

Won't you get a shed load of water in the engine bay if its raining

[SGHOM]

nope. there a mesh behind the slot & a filter !! just in case, & both vents will be ducted direct to the air box.

nick the facelift mdels have a higher centre than the pre facelift models,

[Nick Mann]

Aha! That explains it! Cheers, Mo.

I can't properly visualise the end look?? not too sure I would do it.

Have a photoshop picture done first just in case you regret where you put them.

[Brind]

Take a picture of a vent on its own and then take another picture of the bonnet on its own, should be able to place the vent on the car using photoshop to see where the best place would be.

[SGHOM]

So, the general concensus of opinion is to take them back to the shop ??? :Cry1: DOH !! well !! I like them, so they're going on next week.

[Spirit]

Damn right mate, screw everyone else's opinions and go with what you like !

[SGHOM]

having spoke to Nick, Dave, & Kieran today, I think I'm still going ahead next week & fitting them, but closer together, inside the line on the bonnet.
believe me, they will look much more discreet than the picture suggests, and they will provide the much needed cold air feed.
once they are done & the boost is correctly piped, then it's going to be re-mapped & set up correctly. either Nobles of chesterfield, or Well lane in leeds.

[SGHOM]

well !!! there's no going back now !! :$ I pick the car up at 5.30, done !!! I hope you approve ?? If not ! tough !!!

[enigma]

They dont look even to me?????

[SGHOM]

they didn't to me at first !!! but they are. well, within a few feet ??
