Finally - a vent I actually LIKE
RazMan - 17/8/06 at 03:37 PM

Followers of my side vent fiasco will be pleased to hear that I have finally made up my mind now

I got busy with the angle grinder and cut the old vents out, then grafted in a pair of vents from a well known middy (can you guess what it is?) ..... what do you think?

I like it. Looks nice.

Did u make it??

That's very neat! Are you going to put some mesh behind the hole? That would make it just right, I reckon.

My earlier attempts looked a bit amateurish so I conceded defeat in the design department and bought a pair of vents on eBay (£10 ) and grafted them in using fibreglass & filler.

I am going to put stainless mesh behind it to cover up the gubbins which should finish it off nicely.

Nice job. Well done that man.

Looks nice that. As said, a hint of mesh and you're laughing.

If it was up to me, I'd fit black mesh - but it's your car so you can do whatever you want!
