I didn't want anything too in your face, for want of a better word "chavvy" I know it's a nova but want to keep it looking fairly understated (the cage doesn't help!!!!) was thinking of getting Andy to cut the louvres from below the screen on the donor car and graft them into the bonnet, would look a bit better I think??? I'm not keen on the vent pictured above so we're re-thinking!!!
Yeah you won't get hardly any air into the bay to feed say carbs/bodies with a vent, it's literally meant to vent hot air, not scoop in, so if you do use a scuttle vent you might want a boxed in or scoop on the underside to channel the air to where you want it etc.
Otherwise a drop scoop is good.

I'm undecided on the scuttle mate, if we made a plenum we could ceramic coat it to keep the heat out as best we can, then maybe some sort of filter up in the scuttle, I'm concerned about removing the scuttle and keeping it looking right as I want to keep the standard wiper, I can sling the battery behind the passenger seat so that creates room for a filter, hmmmm decisions!! Defo a winter job now though!!
What about wing vents, with trunking behind that coming in to the scuttle feeding the tbs?

Yeah possible, with a sealed plenum I could run an aluminium pipe to any fresh air source, could come over the gearbox and out the side to the wing there!! Inlet plenum's open a whole wide world of cold air possibilities and it would look sex!!!
Do it!
