    modding bonnet

    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?

    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! Click here to enlarge

    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.
