Those vents are very similar to early Metro bonnet vents, could be worth having a look...

If you're feeling brave you can mask off and cut out a vent using a small cutting disc or drill a pilot hole and get busy with the jigsaw. File down the edges, primer, coat of your body colour and bob, is your mothers brother, wing ventage. Did it on my mates mk1 mini, looked mint and noone else had one like it. Failing that get one from the scrappies to experiment on before attacking your bodywork.

Hmmmn, sounds bit weird. It shouldn't be a problem if you do it right, dunno what's happened to your wing mate but I'd say that this is not the norm. I've done my fair share of body mods, painting etc and never come across anything like that.
