Title: Vents in bonnet - show or have a purpose?
Post by: dom101 on November 26, 2012, 07:06:57 AM
So was just wondering the vents on the bonnet which sit above ecu and battery area, have they got a reason as rain and water from washinv car easily gets in, or just for show as seem some g40s with bonnets smoothed ::)

They allow fresh air in for the cabin heater and fan.

does it matter if they get smoothed  over? or is it not a big issue? as the scuttle tray doesnt cover all the bay,was thinking watercould esily damage somehting?

There's meant to be a plastic cover forcing water to run either side and out.
