Sorry about the Quality, but the cars a bit dusty and the Suns a bit bright this arvo'






See http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...threadid=96801 for info on B.Vent Construction.
Grill constructrion is along similar lines using a standard Pre'96 Impreza Grill.....

Over 100 hits, and no replies.
I thought u Pre'96 guy's would appreciate this or do you think it looks worse than stock ?

Sorry it's not an MY99 with 19inch Alloys and a WRC spoiler, but after loosing £7000 on a Cosworth (which I only had for 6 months) it was all I could afford.

I like it too! Nicely done Scott.

And yes you're right... I am indeed a little disapointed about your 17"! 20" looks sooooo much better... just kidding, really like it the way it is!

Just had some vents 'pressed' into the Bonnet Vent mounting plates.
So should look even better through the mesh.
'Pressed' vents are similar shape to bonnect Scoop, just to keep things looking origional.

Hello Scott,

I don't venture in this forum very often..

They do look good.. have you removed the covers underneath so the vents actually vent? I keep going to remove mine..

I didn't understand your last post???? expand.

Cheers

Vent cover plates are still fitted.

I did have some vents pressed into the cover plates, but initial fitting failed as the pressed vents clashed with the bonnet vent.

I may try re-fitting and adding some spacers. Havn't had a chance since getting back from Hol's.

Right...

I am not sure why Subaru ever fitted the vents and then blanked them off.. probably would look very odd without vents now we are used to them but they don't actually do anything with the covers on...

Hope you had a nice holiday.
