had a busy day today, i got hold of a used hood and put vents in it, ignore the crap spray job its temp until i know i dont need any further work on it and if i like the satin black or prefer silverstone, at the moment im liking the black but lets see in a few weeks



a week has gone by and we have had rain, the filter was getting damp so i decided to fit a rain tray, first of what it looks like before fitting

then tray fitted



and one from outside

i will do the other one but i ran out of alloy sheet.

Have you got a picture of the underside?

Will sort one out when finished, I'm either fitting aloy trim or a rain tray depending how it goes when it's raining

That was on my list to do at some point
I couldn't decide on whether to do the thrid one and use it to get cold air in to the intake.

I could not go any further as I have the filter sitting under the 3rd panel and was worried it might get wet
I have removed the rib between 2nd and 3rd panel and extended the second vent so it's just short of the filter, aprox the last 3 inch is the cold side of the heat sheild I have between filter and engine bay, next weekend I will make the heat sheild fit up to the grill
Early tests show around 7 degree temp drop at the engine intake sensor

Nice work.

Looks good - I reckon you will end up painting it later to match the rest of the car

good work Steve.

Yanks have been doing this for years on OEM bonnets, so your fitting a rain guide?

Looks good in black, but it needs the third vent imo. Looks a professional job though

I really need to do something like this, the drivers side front wing is hot to the touch after a drive!
