how i fitted rs turbo bonnet vents to my standard bonnet
rs turbo bonnet vents fitted to a standard bonnet
vents from ebay
these are the tools needed, drill, jigsaw, sanding dremel bits, masking tape, marker pen, also used a grinder/slit disc when making the brackets, small piece 20 gauge steel.
marked out a template in cardboard (slightly smaller than the vent)
marked the under side of the bonnet then drilled 4 holes in the corners
put masking tape on the outside of the bonnet
put the template on in place marked by the 4 holes, draw round it
cut it out with the jigsaw
trial fit then mark out areas that need trimming, trim where mounting screws fit too
now for the way to hold them in, i made some brackets
job finished just need painting
i know they dont fit exactally like rs turbos because they are sat on the bonnet and not recessed but i like them
