I'll take one Cliff, I remember you sending me a pic of your work in progress and I thought it looked good. I've been through a few different reverse vents in my time 
and this looks far better than what I've got presently.
Just a thought there is a member on here who owns a carbon fibre moulding company, perhaps at joint venture if I might be so bold...

Plus the reverse vent helps to draw hot air out of the engine bay due to the pressure difference between the air flowing over the bonnet and the hot air in the engine bay.

. If it goes well then I may look into making a batch of 10 or so. 
. Its a trip to B&Q today for a new one, then finish the mould,prime,paint and fit. I will put up a few pictures when its finished, to get peoples thoughts again.

Its silver......but I know what you mean
I may do. I want to run this one on the car for a few months, check it stays in shape and works right.(just waiting for the rain to stop, then I will fit it.
) If I do, I`ll let you know, but I can assume you like what you see then,,,,Thanks

Its only been on a couple of days and I want to make sure it keeps its shape well and doesnt effect the engine in any way. For now its a "one-off" but if it works well, I may look into making more. Sorry, not a clue what they would cost to produce at this moment in time....
