Im currently in the process of a Mk1 Gte rebuild in glacier white. Keeping it all nice and subtle, ive got a set of Gsi bonnet vents there and was thinking about getting them cut in to aid with cooling for future engine mods :cool:

Do i or dont i? :wtf:

What you think folks??????????

No. Too curvy for a Nova IMO. Astra GTE ones maybe?

Astra GTE would do it for me, had them on my GSI.

A set of Astra GTE vents cut in would look good IMO.

Yep Astra GTE vents do look good. Even seen some in a Corsa bonnet which actually looked good. Probably because they dont stand off the bonnet they look purposeful and like they're actually suppose to be there.

The only time i think gsi or gte vents look good is when the recessed plate is fitted to the bonnet also, I'm not a big fan of either just sat on top of the bonnet, the original cars look a lot better because they are slightly flushed with the bonnet, I say either cool louvres or courtney carbon ones like the ones fitted to k95vhd and novacabrios black xe
