I got some vents from RunCool in the USA ( http://hoodlouvers.com/).
Yet to install them but very good quality and fully customisable.
The main challenge is there is no cutting template, so you have to decide for yourself the best mounting location, measure several times before cutting, etc.

I was always going to do the same and ended up buying the Poison Spyder front inner fender vents.
It lets a lot of the hot air out without all the hassle of cutting into your bonnet.

I just removed the rubber strip along the back of the bonnet/engine bay, air flows through nicely

Here's a copy of what went into installing mine:

Marked out where to cut.

Then started masking!

Cut it out & smoothed down the edges, then primed & painted. That's supposed to be flat black, (I ran out of satin black). Threw in a couple of braces where the cut went a bit too deep... Oops.

I now have all the holes drilled, but found the damned fasteners are all imperial. A 3mm allen & 10mm socket sort of work well enough to tighten them up, but one seized while removing them after drilling the pilot holes. It wasn't tight, the nut was half was off when it stuck & reamed out the allen head. Ended up using the grinder to get the little bastard out... |
