As you all know the heat from the centre vents blows cold - fine if you live in Spain but sh1te if like me (when the cars on the road), you are way up north near to north pole!

Anyway - does anyone know how easy it would be to change the matrix so that heat goes to the centre vents as well?

Heat goes to the side vents and the floor so surely its just a case of changing the air flow and a couple of plastic bits?

now I've never messed with the heater vents (yet) but just wondered if anyone else has...

Dont think its been done before, you'd have to some how re-route the warm air feed.

Shouldnt be too hard ade.

You might need to cut a section out of the feed for the sides and insert a y shape pipe that is the same diameter etc then feed it to the centre.

running hot air to the central vents will rob the hot air from somewhere else. It wont mak ethe car any warmer IMO,

Fit A/C from a Corsa. Now that would be trick!

A/C trick as funk.
Find a scrapped Corsa with air con, rob all the bits (condenser, matrix, pump, rad etc) & bung it in the front of your Nova. Should be enough room behind those Punto lamps & bonnet extension etc.
