Title: Wing vents
Post by: richard ellison on 01 June 2004, 16:42

I saw in last months PVW that a few of the feature cars have wing vents...

are these done by cool louvres? i thought i read somewhere they were originally called a 't4 wing vent'?

Thinking of getting one after the wheels arrive...

they originally come off the vw and merc vans. the one dizzy has got is from vw transporter van.

i think you just buy a pressed plate that you can cut and weld into your wing, like the audi handles. you dont have to find a transporter van an hack its wing up :D

why not cut the vents on the original mk2 bonnet (near washer jets) out and fit it to the wing?

cool louvres do the transporter wing vent for ?100- seems the cheaper option.

it is the price for the whole wing- they press the vent out of your wing- i.e. no welding

ill prob invest later this year...
