Re: Mk3 astra gsi vents, pics?

Yep personally if they werent in the bonnet properly like they came from the factory then i wouldnt have them at all. If troy can do a nice job of his bonnet then i reckon he could make a few quid making them. the only reason i have them is because they were in the bonnet I bought already as my bon...

Re: Mk3 astra gsi vents, pics?

Possibly in my progress thread mate. Mines are cut out kinda d shape in bonnet, then vent placed in as it has lugs on it if i remember correctly. Probably need sealed somehow after painting.

I can take some pics of it if you need?

Mk3 astra gsi vents, pics?

As some of you may be aware, i have a bonnet with astra gsi Vents in it awaiting paint. As i have the badged grill on now i can't help but think it may not look right. . .

I searched images but only found one or two, and usually with gsi grill.
Anyone any images of cavs with the Vents?
