Default Looking For A WRC Bonnet Vent, Any Help....

Hello, i have recently become a new subaru owner and want to do a couple of cosmetic adaptions. i am looking for the front bonnet vent that sits proud of the main bonnet vent that resembles the earlier evo ones as i can only find one that will fit a 98-2000 subaru. can anyone help?

You are aware sticking a bonnet vent directly in front of your I/C scoop will just feed hot air onto the intercooler don't you.

And fill the alternator full of water when it rains.

Yup its not a good idea the WRC cars are totally different under the bonnet to a road going car, just google pictures and you will see what is being said, and water on your electrics isnt a good idea, neither is hot air on your intercooler as it will reduce your power and may cause det

Easy way to get the looks though and keep temps down and water out. Fit front mount and put perspex in the etc vent to keep the water out.

Did anyone have a result for supplying the WRC front vent for the blobeye's??

Cosmeticaly i would love one and i can make up a water drainage so the engine stays dry while letting heat out too..
obviously a front mount cooler will help keep temps down.
