I'm going to be offering a service to fit vents to bonnets at the end of this year now obviously i'll be asking for payment for materials and vents ect b4 ordering them and then i'll take final payment just b4 i send it to u...

Now i'm a panel beater by trade so it'll be good quality however as its common for bonnet vents to crack under the heat i can't guarentee that no cracks will appear but its upto u as no bodyshop will guarantee it either.

All bonnets will have a half decent prime but where ever u get it sprayed will probably flat and re-prime it anyway...

Let me know if anyone is interested for the future

Basically this is my way of making abit of extra cash on the side (shhh don't tell work) but also enabling me to save some people the stupid cost that i've been quoted in the past for vents to be fitted

Prices will basically be cost of materials, bonnet and vent + extra depending on work needed for perticular vent

Just want to gauge interest

well if u send me a bonnet and a vent then it'll be about ?20 for materials so i reckon about max of ?100 but as i remember the F50 can be abit of an arse

I'll get prices on new genuine bonnets and pattern ones... or may be able to get hold of scrappy ones if u wanna go on the cheap but will cost more for labour if its fcuked...

Vents will probably be ordered from Carisma style as there quality was very good on my Evo i had on one of my other cars... Unless people want special stuff like K9 from QC's

So its upto u but i'll give a better price for total once i've had a better think on difficulty for fitting different vents
