Default hawkeye bonnet vents

quite like the idea and look of this, but my concern from buying this one advertised is the blue wrc car looks a good fit with a thin outside edge whereas the black one looks gash. does anyone have one of these fitted or know of anywhere that does a fit like the one pictured on the blue wrc car. cheers

No expert but, it looks like it would deflect about 50% of the air flow your scoop would pick up, thats not a good thing if you have a top mount

Lee think you will find they put it on WRC because the WRC car has a front mount intercooler just a guess

The WRC engine is a total different layout, that would just put water straight onto your alternator, and trust me, they dont like water

Is it not just a stuck on item as opposed to a cut in item?
