Hi all,

When people put for eg the Astra Gsi vents in a Corsa B Standard bonnet, do you just cut the required hole etc and bond it on or sumin or is it more involved than that?

Any corsa B with Astra Gsi vents pics would be awesome

Ah GTE i meant, can you actually have it so it vents air when driving or is it an ornamental thing?

ornamental i think, but all i can see them doing is letting hot air out, if fitted properly like mine

Cause atm i got a Mitsubishi bonnet, looks lovely and all and i like the fact that it lets out a lot of the excess hot air and when driving i'll assume it keeps the bay much cooler but the thing with it is if the car has been standing even a day or two and its been raining (living in wales can't be helped) i don't think i should keep it as it is etc as have had trouble starting it before after heavy rain so i want a bonnet vent that's gona be effective but can keep the water out basically! lol

So looking at the GTE vents they pretty much suit like to what i want! You got any pics of it installed?

WOW! Look awesome m8 in fairness! Specially with the badboy bonnet!

How much you think a 2nd bonnet, with the vent installed and bayboy "should cost" ?

How hard would it be to re-spray then you think? Well if you want to sell and your current offer falls through let me know! As would save me a load of time, and at least i know it will look good! lol
