WTB Roof vents
 

Whilst I've given up rallying for now, I've starting building a 555 replica as the rally car I've always wanted..

I'm trying to track down the same style roof vents as featured on this car - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...a_555_crop.jpg

Does anyone know anywhere that sells these? thanks

no where really bud you`ll have to look for original group a ones

they do come up on ebay from time to time

and there is a WRC spares site that had some sets.

hey, cheers for the quick reply :)

there's a place here in NZ that can make them.. they used to do them for the Group A cars here... but the problem is they want moon beams for them :( where as I've found places over there that do the carbon fibre panels (door skins etc) quite cheaply.

Would it not be possible to use 2 Spec C roof vents? (with some interior modification of course!) This would be rather pircey too though I guess.

they are different bud, I was inspecting the Colin Mcrae car at prodrive the other day and they are different to spec C vent :)

Those arent what he is after the twin ones on L555BAT and the other cars are slightly different.

unfortunately those are the wrong ones.. it's the twin ones I'm after.. just amazed no one seems to do them :)

Not many folk are crazy enough to cut one hole in their for far less two!!

I look forward to seeing pictures of your car as i am a big fan of the 555 cars :thumb:
