Default 22B vents

do these benefit cooling anymore do we think? as i imagine air draws warm out out as it goes over the bonnet?

just wondering wether to get some or not, must have a purpose if they only came on 22B's?

I bet they where on the 22B to look like the ones on the WRC cars, the 22B ones are much smaller though. Thats what I think

They are blanked off underneath anyway on the 22B so I wouldn't think theres any real purpose to them.

But 22B vents look so much better than standard Jon.

I have these fitted, and the vent sits right above the intake box. So if you have an open air filter, like I did for a while, it probably draws in air temps sooner then routing through the fender and then into the engine bay. Although, it probably would be the same as just removing your stock backing plates as far as performance goes. Me personally, I like it for the looks

then when you get caught in the rain your filter gets soaked.speaking from experience,
