    I know the vents you're on about. They look subtle (unlike the Series II Escort Arse-Turbo vents). I think that provided they're blended in well, they'd look ok.

    However, if they end up looking like Derek's I'll send the GLS police round!!! :lolice: :-D

    with these vent's there is no-need to blend,if i could load pic's i could have showen you them on my cavy,these are about the easy'st to fit as long as you cut the hole out proper and do a neat paint job they fit very flat,add a bit of silicone ,push them on and secure the 4 mounting pin's on the under side of the bonnet.i'm 55% sure about going ahead with them.
    i'll post pic's once we can,and if i go ahead i'll post stuff+pic's on how to do it.
    i was going to go for the BIG f-40 one but it has a sharp curve so no good for a flat bonnet.
