bonnet vent/scoop are they a yes or a no

[t5 pete]

I have been thinking of putting a bonnet vent on my 850 on the passanger side for a while but i still can make my mind up weather to have one the main reason i want one is for the air intake with the bsr filter and its surround has any one got any pics and your thoughts would be appericated

[flyingbrick]

I think a great idea. But what about the wolf in sheeps clothing thing mate.

[spesh]

what about somthing small like an astra mk3 gsi, small slat vent, think they look very discrete

[gtiteen]

I'm not sure, maybe look a bit barry boys on a volvo estate? How about a cold air feed of some sort?

Dave

[abdul]

[walter leever]

I just meant those vents,the bulge in the middle a vent in front and at the

window and 2 small ones at each corner.Those vents really suit the boxy

Lancia(a car wich i always liked)and maybe it suits the boxy 850.

[MrMopp]

Heaps??.....Pah!!, says you who's just bought that clapped out old thing off Pedro!!!,lol...

That clapped out thing as you so quaintly put it will eat your R for breakfast by the autumn :)

Plans are prepared and parts are sought :)

[My T5]

Dont do it.If you want a bonnet scoop buy an evo or an impreza! Keep it subtle and not like youve driven through halfords!

ER too many what??

[walter leever]

ER too many what??

Know your beers,lad:D(belgium the land of Stella,Jupiler,etc,etc)

And offcourse Tauro(a "light"beer from Jupiler,only 8.3%vol)

[Tomcat]

Stella I know (should do I'm surrounded by empty cans,lol), but Juliper??, never heard of that one.

[walter leever]

Stella I know (should do I'm surrounded by empty cans,lol), but Juliper??, never heard of that one.

You mean Jupiler,it's even more wellknown then Stella(and I might add even better)

I have few more for you:

-Duvell
-Vedett
-La chouffe,etc,etc
But i'm sure that they have Jupiler were you live,try it you'll like it:B_thumb:

and if you buy enough off it you'll get a free bonnet vent.:lol:

[snoop69]

If you want to put a vent in your bonnet then do it bud.

Get yourself an old bonnet just in case you dont like it.

Make a change to see a bit of individuality than a load of Peg wearing,
R spoilered Volvos that all look the same bar the colour :D

Vents.
If you did a single subtle one like this (http://www.carbonmods.co.uk/Products/Carbon-Fibre-NACA-Vent__CMNACAMID01.aspx)sort of shape, above the airbox and painted to match the bonnet it could look quite good.

If you add a Scoobaroo or worse, one of those klingon looking things, then no.

LMAO! Don't you mean Peg wearing, R spoilered, Eibach lowered, FSD supported, rica powered, ferodo stopped, Volvo??!! (alright I fall into a couple of those categories!) God forbid anyone who deviates from these "approved" modifications!

I'm liking that a lot! Match my front splitter a treat!

Note to anyone reading this: If I do buy one, please don't throw stones at me because I dare to be a little bit individual and don't conform to what you see as acceptable modifiations to my own car.

[S70T5Chris]

And i'm definately getting a set of these to match my chavvy splitter and super chavvy pilar pod!

I am collecting stones as we speak :D lol ;)

[Niles]

other than its got no turbo & the sodding thing IS over done to my taste &&&& its ORANGE!!!!.....the vent (naca) looks good in my opinion. Extra cold air to those who are using cone filters. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bMJQR3iSYvM

Dave

..Unnh??? But you already have a cold air feed as standard!!! - Unless you have removed it for one of those aftemarket hot air feed systems that do away with the airbox etc., then the standard feed is in a high pressure (good) low temperature (good) area in front of the rad - above puddle level (good) What are you looking to improve upon???

There is a good thread about air vents etc - if you are looking for performance change rather than looks only. Well worth a read of all three parts before you make any decisions.

Those carbon vents that people 'seem' to like :P they are very similar to the mk2 Astra GTE bonnet vents, I have these installed on my Sierra 24v, and most people don't even notice they are there.

now you tell me,i could have been drinking something else all this time;)

[Wobbly Dave]

Unless there was some proof about improved effeciency of air through the FMIC then why bother with the vents? Scoobies have the big scoop becuase they have a top mounted intercooler?

Anything else is just wishful thinking

[Wobbly Dave]

Can someone tell if the C70 was supposed to have an undertray below the FMIC. I have been thinking that as mine does not currently have such an item - that my IC performance may be reduce (as per the article).
