Viento side panels
BigFaceDave - 14/2/10 at 11:09 AM

When I bought my car I didn't get any side panels with it, So I want to make some, I have access to a gillotene and press and plasma cutter if needed.

I was just wondering if anyone has any drawing/plans or panels that they havent fitted yet which they could do a sketch with measurements so that I can work out what to make. Also what gauge should I be lookingf to make them out of? I was thinking of 2mm Ali. Many thanks Dave.

I havent fitted my velocity panels yet, im not sure if they are the same as the viento ?
I know the viento is a wider car but im presuming its longer & taller too.
If they are the same, you are welcome to pop over at some point and take a template. Im working away for a week but will be around after that, maybe if someone could measure if there is a difference, that might help.
If not, good luck & im sure their are some people in your area that will reply.

Viento panels are longer than the Velocity.

Paper / cardboard template is my suggestion.

looking at it I would say there roughly 380 x 2500 ish so probably alot bigger than a velocity but thanks for the offer.

Mine are fitted but I can draw up a diagram with dimensions ( approx) over the next week if its any help.

Paul, If you could that would be great! trying to find pics of the front of the panel and where about it stops at the back would be handy too!
