Default Classic bonnet vent covers?

Hi all, first post !

Just become a proud owner of a very clean V5 JDM STi - and would like to keep it that way.

Just noticed that the rain , snow and literally anything is allowed to fall straight into the engine bay, onto the battery, through the bonnet vents?
This makes be very uncomfortable ! Is there any such thing as covers etc. that you can put on when it’s not being driven? A magnetic cover or under blanking plate of some sort would be ideal.

Anyone else bothered by this issue ?

Cheers

There should be covers underneath unless they've been removed?

That’s exactly what I’m after ! No, they have been removed and the rain is just free to drop in.

Question is any idea where to buy them without trawling through breaking ads?

cheers !
