roof vent how easy to fit
 
eBay.co.uk: WRC Roof Scoop/Vent Subaru Impreza (item 130066299391 end time 13-Jan-07 20:35:57 GMT)

seen this on ebay, and as above how easy to fit

jasonius 07 January 2007 01:33 PM

Should just bond in place as mentioned, but I have to ask, WHY would you want one of these..? :freak3: It's likely to blow off if you go above 50mph..:lol1:

Pro Boy 07 January 2007 02:23 PM

surely if bonded it wont come off, seen plenty with them on

frayz 07 January 2007 02:25 PM

Roof vent?

Surely you mean "stick on piece of random fibreglass" as at no point does it vent into the car lol.

Sorry mate, but fakes are a no no in my eyes.

Why not go for a proper roof WRC spec or JDM spec C vent??

Knighty99 07 January 2007 02:26 PM

Won't come off using the right bonding material? I can be stronger than welding metal to gether? The windows in most cars are bonded in.

Couldn't have said it better my self.

looks good without hassle of having to cut holes into roof and a lot cheaper

Does it? :wonder:

tatty 07 January 2007 02:41 PM

I have one slightly larger than that on my RA and it's fine, as long as it has a vent at the rear it WILL NOT come off!!

Mine has also got two pegs that reguire the roof to be drilled as well as bonded, but you can just remove the pegs.

Bonding i agree is mech stronger than todays wleding, the RAF bond their aircraft together, so if it's good enough for them it's ok for us lesser people

octain 07 January 2007 02:56 PM

Its just typical of this forum , Guy asks a question and gets good feed back from some and the others just pile on to call it sh.t , If anyone thinks that post aint something they would do, why not skip it and go to something that is your thing , easy :thumb:

Pro Boy 07 January 2007 02:58 PM

frayz, i take you you only like the best and have the cash to do it , but this suits the need looks good in the picture.

tatty , have checked and it has a vent at the back, so well said

just hate these people who pull you down and dont even answer the question

frayz 07 January 2007 02:58 PM

Fair comment,

But id rather someone stop me before i allowed myself to mastic a fake pod to my roof that looks rubbish and will cause me to be laughed at and pointed at in the street.

Call it a service :D

Maybe we're just trying to save the guy some embarrassment.

There's a guy living local to me who has stuck a fake carbon scoop on his roof. It can clearly be seen that it has been stuck on.

Every time he passes me I just think 'cock'.

frayz 07 January 2007 03:01 PM

Pro Boy 07 January 2007 03:02 PM

rabskyline 07 January 2007 03:05 PM

:Whatever_

Pro Boy 07 January 2007 03:07 PM

the question all along has been HOW EASY TO FIT, but going by the replies bodyshop,

thanks to the few who answered the question

just got to get it now

gatty 07 January 2007 03:11 PM

let me know how you get on with the fitting etc i love the look of the FAKE roof vent . i want one to:lol1: :lol1:


its not as if the scooby is a descrete looking car is it............louder the better:lol1:

dump valve .........de-cat .......fire storm next for me. bring it on

octain 07 January 2007 03:12 PM

It could also be the same as boot spoilers , these things only work at high speeds and on extreme tracks , yet we all drive round with the buggers bolted on (for the look of it), alot of things are there for show and if done the right way look fine, The question was are they ok and how to make them look right, Pro boy was doing the right thing asking for advice not a slating. luckly thanks to some on here he has it,

The thing is..spoilers DO work to a degree. they create a downforce..and they were put onto production models due to homologation. what purpose does a fake vent on the roof serve?....bugger all apart from looking like someone went down to halfords..and stuck on a 50 quid plastic non functioning vent on their roof and ruined their car.

people post on here to ask opinions..so don't have a go if you can't take those opinions. majority of serious enthusiasts think they look ****..me included. im guessing this subaru also has lexarse lights..sti decals on a wrx and windows blacker than a tramps teeth.

why not go the whole hog and fit some spinner rims and a nice set of L.E.D washer jets.

noobscoob 07 January 2007 05:21 PM

Well he damn well got it didnt he :) don't blame me for hating tacky cars. i spend far too much time on Barryboys where the sodomising of subarus happens regularly.

Pro Boy 07 January 2007 05:33 PM
