Wing Vents

Been thinking about fitting wing vents for some time to help improve the cooling, couldn't really find something that looked right. Finally found these, basically copies of the later BMW M3 wing vent.


Took a fair amount of time before I summoned the courage to attack the wings but once I started there was no turning back.


Used an angle grinder with a slitting disc to remove the baulk of the material then finished it of with my die grinder. Had a couple of small bits to touch in, painted it with a fine brush then flatted back and polished.


Quite happy with how they look, I was originally thinking of painting the black part body colour but decided to leave it as it is for now.

Just need to get a couple of badges made to replace the M3 ones.
