Default WTB Roof vents

Whilst I've given up rallying for now, I've starting building a 555 replica as the rally car I've always wanted..

I'm trying to track down the same style roof vents as featured on this car - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...a_555_crop.jpg

Does anyone know anywhere that sells these? thanks

hey, cheers for the quick reply

there's a place here in NZ that can make them.. they used to do them for the Group A cars here... but the problem is they want moon beams for them where as I've found places over there that do the carbon fibre panels (door skins etc) quite cheaply.

Would it not be possible to use 2 Spec C roof vents? (with some interior modification of course!) This would be rather pircey too though I guess.
