Vents/grills

What bonnet vents do you all use?
I wish to buy a couple to go on top on my bonnet (Viento), only the ones on ebay seem cheap n nasty looking-or are they any good?
Any reccomendations apprec, this is in preperation for my T Technics kit.........

cheers Colin

have you looked at Car Builder Solutions? They have a selection of vents so you might find something to suit.

On something the size of a Viento, How about the side vents off a new Range Rover?

B&Q is your friend. Available in 3 sizes, in aluminium and brass.

Here is one (middle size) fitted to my bonnet. The corners are trimmed and although you cannot see it, the vent edges are blunted as well as the anodising being sanded off - that took a hell of a long time.
