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

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:

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

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??

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:

:brickwall :brickwall :brickwall :brickwall :brickwall :brickwall :brickwall

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

If you dont like them why the F..K post, the lad wonts one its his choice, he wonted advice not a shoot out AGAIN!!!!!!!!

Just looks cheap and tacky to me.

Might as well stick some fake vents on the bonnet while your at it.

Suely im allowed to ask.. "does it" look good?

Whats your problem?:lol1:

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:

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

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'.

Okay okay.. enough messing

Call the guys at ABW in Essex. Theyre subaru bodywork gurus and they will tell you everything you need to know.

going to get my local bodyshop to paint and fit it so it wont look 'cock' mate, as its meant for the roof and a scoop goes on the bonnett

listen mate, if you want one then buy it. but it is like putting a gtr badge on a gts . just not needed, forby that its winter and the uk summer isnt exactly the sahara is it ??

:Whatever_

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

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

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,

Mick

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.

Do they **** on they way to tesco,you need to be going at a fair rate before you get any sort of down force.

but he dint ask for your opinon :nono: he just wonted too
know how easy they are too fit

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.

All Scoob turbos (classics) came with fake bonnet vents :D

noobscoob, take it youre unable to read the question, so go back and play with your remote control scoobie, or better still learn to read

i dont give a toss if some people dont like it because its not there
