Depends on the rest of the car - and what engine it has. Saw a Renault 19 with one not so long ago, you could peer down into the engine and see the crappy little 1.4 engine in there lol

Will the vent be fuctional or purely for show.?If it does vent cold air in, I don't see why not. If you are just sticking it on for looks, then i'd say no, its an awful lot of work for something that looks like a ladies little triangle of womanhood.

An Evo vent doesn't let cold air in, it lets hot air out

Ok ok so Mitsubishi and Subaru seem to be singing from the same songbook when it comes to the Evo/Impreza malarky, but you cannae beat a bit of Faff:

Is that your GT4 Razor? I know what your getting at about Subaru and Mitsubishi! The Celica GT4 is a good looking car. Not so pretty its effeminate, but not all macho and "rarrr get out of my way, I have an Impreza". And they are f***ing quick.

Id be carefull as to where the vent will sit, i had some louvres up the middle of the bonnet on my old Nova which had an XE in it and when it rained the holes where the plug leads fit in to used to fill up with water - which wasn't good !!!

Some of the GT4 people who remove the under bonnet cladding keep the plastic air duct/scoop in. But then some go without and don't have a problem with water in the engine bay...

Nope, got a quote and I'll send it to the guy on Tuesday. I have a feeling he might not like it though lol

I've seen it done before where the gaps have been filled with perspex... kinda defies the point of it being a "vent" though!
