Hi everyone, im a newbie to this site this is my first post and i need some opinions, 2 nights ago some thoughtful t**t decided it might be fun to pour some paint stripper/brake fluid onto my car bonnet leavin it a right mess so i thought i may as well get a nice vent put on seen as though it all needs respraying, i dont want anything too over the top and have pretty much narrowed it down to 2, the new evo 8 vent or the older evo style vent with the 2 cutouts, has anyone got either of these on their golfs so i can see what they look like?? :undecided: .its a Mk 3 golf GTi by the way and ive got a limited budget!!

I would suggest trying a post in the cosmetic section.

Vents are nasty, if you really have to do something other than a straight forward re-paint... put the money you would've spent on a vent into a "bad-boy" bonnet. Not to everyones taste.. but i think they suit the mk3

I've got a nasty feeling you won't get paint to stick to that bonnet now it's had brake fluid poured on it...

i secound that :smiley:
it should stick ok as long as all the paintstripper/brake fluid is removed, :wink:

my personal opinion on vents are that if you dont need it, dont do it. looks tacky i think.
if the bonnet is gonna be resprayed, then a layer of paint is gonna have to be taken back anyway, if not to bare metal,so it can be primed first, so the brake fluid/paint stripper would be removed anyway
