This coming weekend i plan to mod my mk4 astra van bonnet, going to extend the bonnet and wings over the lights, but need ideas for venting.
im either going to louver it or do a custom design. Any ideas/pics?

Do you want it to look good or be functional as well??

Similar vents (got a set of WTCC ones) plus a negative pressure type vent behind the rad is what I'm thinking for mine.

Looks like you've done a good job though mate! :thumbs:

The first looks the part. The second one I'm not keen on. Kind of looks like something you see on an appliance like a fridge or microwave, maybe less of them and spaced out a bit like the old Z3 side vents.
Love the bonnet and quarter panel extension incorporating the eyelids. The shape of the headlamps just cries out for this mod.

Like the vents to rid the heat

I like the white one preferably, but I reckon both vents on the one bonnet would be good for a track car ;)
