Bonnet Vent Supplier?
Not the usual ones though I'm after something like this........ and huge! Very popular in Japan I'm told.
If anyone has the slightest idea where I can find one I would be much obliged.

No help I'm afraid - I bought some of these for my mazda, they were ludicrously expensive, really poor quality & I can't remember
where from.
My advice would be to get to the scrappies & liberate what you want from an old escort turbo or something.

Actually I have found the supplier of this vent - gtautostyle.com in Australia. They have quoted me a very reasonable price of £92 inc shipping. The
dimensions are not quite right but I might be able to butcher ... er ... modify it to fit.
The front measurement (66) needs to be about 485mm but the rest are about right.
If anyone has an alternative I would be very interested. I have beer tokens at the ready

That looks like the rear visor from a Nova kitcar!
Look for someone selling the kit with a broken screen and make them an offer!

Thanks for the input guys 
Although it does indeed look similar to some well known bonnet vents (Evo, Pulsar etc) it is a different shape having straight edges and louvres - and
the size is much bigger too.
MustangSix's link seems to be the plastic cosmetic variety which is not what I am after - and US suppliers seem to want to charge an arm and a
leg to ship to the UK anyway.
Looks like I may have to go for the Aussie solution and get my powerfile out
