    Didn't I say you should have blended them in?!

    It looks like the kind of thing that a Ned with his 1.1L Nova merit would do! :arse:

    That said, I think if they're blended and painted in, they'll look pretty good.

    for your information, the vents are in the blender !! drilled, pop riveted, ground down & filled.
    the left one is ready for paint, & the right on just needs a bit more work to match. just got to stopper them tomorrow, & shadow coat, then I'm ready to 1200 the whole bonnet.
    hopefully, I'll have the bonnet painted by the weekend dependant on getting the colour match correct.
    Also my son fitted an air deflector for good measure !! & a few mods to the air intake.
    /edit.... just wish I could post pictures !!
