yeh u have to cut the bonnet for the air vents n u can stick it down usin stickoflex and then fill n smooth it in round the edges.

[badnova]

how big are the holes that u have to cut

Ferrari f50 vents are a bastard to cut the holes for as the vent sits in the bonnet.

When you fit a vent dont just bond it on with stickoflex or it will peel off once the bonnet flex's, i countersink a rivet into each corner of the vent and then smooth it in with filler that way the corners cannot come away from the bonnet stopping the vent from coming off.

is there anyway of getting around cutting any holes in the bonnet and just having it on the top some how

lokking at this it might just be possible but i was just asking

[novaexplod]

u cant really other wise it wudnt look rite, u cud cut just one big hole out for both vents which may b easier just use a jig saw ( oh n i forgot to mention the rivets but i did that 2 cos the back of the vent pulls upwards.

does anyone have any pics of one on a nove and what does it look like from under the bonnet

[red_devil]

wooooo woooo wooo.... don't recommend using Sicoflex for one reason FLEX... filler don't flex very well so i wouldn't us sicoflex as although its strong... (r8 strong actually) at bonding stuff 2gether like caravans and boats u have to realise that filler don't flex much at all...

I'd got for a solid bond like Tiger Seal... it goes absolutely solid and will work alot better... also to do a job that won't crack u need to blend out with fibreglass and jam to help spread flex...

Another tip is to protect the bonnet well after from underneath... heat will make the metal expand at a different rate that the fibreglass and cause the joint to split....

Its a r8 easy job to do badly but a feckin r8 difficult job to do without it cracking at some point
