Default RA Roof Vent Fitted
Got round to fitting my RA roof vent today unfortunately it's the wrong shade of White but it's a piece of p1ss to remove the flap at a later date without removing the headlining

Before


All taped up


Shot with an Uzi


Bag fitted to catch the crap!


Done




I need to clean up and paint the bracket and screws so it all looks spot on but it's fitted, that's the main thing

Yeah, I bought a genuine roof lining which had a surround on it still so had a few spares but did give a few away, there is a box in the car that if I have any left they will be in

I have got a genuine Spec C roof vent on my WRX bugeye and it is by far one of the best mods I have done.

Yours looks mate

There's a challenge! I presume any flap will fit, type RA etc. on a newage? Just depends on the hole!

The flaps and trim appear to be the same for both, but the roof and strengtheners must be different hence why the brackets are different

I expect they could be made to work though
