RA Roof Vent Fitted
 

Got round to fitting my RA roof vent today :norty: 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 ;)

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 :D

Also, its the 8th one I've fitted so pretty much fitted itself :lol1:

looks good, i need some of them screws for the inside, any idea,s . cheers alan.

Dam im only on my 6th... Need to find some more to fit

Looking good Merv :)

Looks good, nice clean looking Type R

Alan, I've gotta order one myself, I'll get a part number and let you know :)

Come on James, keep up lol

Cheers Chrispy :) gonna be off the road for the forseeable future while I get the engine and everything else sorted! :thumb:

Think I gave my last spare one away but i'll check to see if I still have one knocking about

Cheers buddy, is it the plastic trim clip with the screw in the middle??

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 bet your a Flappy chappy now :D Will have to have a catch up soon mate:thumb:

I really want a roof flap, just need to find one

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 :cool: mate :thumb:

I've only done 3, but it is the best mod I've done cosmetically:thumb:

Interesting to know Jon!

You'll have to find one first:thumb:

I must add you've got balls cutting into your roof... fair play :)

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

The bracketry is different between newage and classic vents and the can't easily be interchanged:wonder:

i also need the plastic screw things...

fitted mine my self try doing it with the head lining still in as i couldnt take it out as i welded my cage in : (


nesf.co.uk have one for sale £250.

You are just making this difficult now!! I presume if the full kit is bought, it wont matter?

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:wonder:

I expect they could be made to work though:thumb:

spec c roof vent is diff to type r. type r to newage will be easyier, but there harder to fit than spec c's roof vents

grrrrr, standby Jon, Ill find one......!

mine was one of them........top work mate ;)
