Any ideas/pics will be on a fibreglass bonnet on a b with a 20xe on throttle bodies, I want to try and get some cool air into the bodies at the back of the bay

I take it you're looking at function over looks then?

Impreza/Mountary vent
Renault 19 vent
Clio 16v vent

thought about morrettes dave but seen as im getting a f/g bonnet and it will need painting up etc no harm in putting a vent in really?

And Marc yeah it will be function over looks but I dont really want it to stan out and look silly would like to keep it semi subtle like the rest of the car:

Astra GSi side vents maybe, or even some louvres.

You run the risk of giving the car a chavy image. Something custom in front of the scuttle wouldn't ruin the look of the car and would still get plenty of cold air in.

im building an enclose box to go around the tb's so that they draw cool air from under the scuttle panel. I will probably make a few of them and they will follow a dcoe pattern to fit all tb setus. once you have it all fitted take some measurements and Im sure I can knock something up to fit the c20xe in a corsa.
