Default Opinions on 22B vent removal

Contemplating removing my 22B bonnet vents and putting original P1 jobbies back on. It took me a while to come around to the 22B style, and I do think they look great and make the car more aggressive looking. But does it look better than when it did with the standard vents?

I think the 22b ones are nicer looking. The purists will shake their heads and stamp their feet, but, my opinion is that they should stay

Personally i think they spoil the look and would go back to standard (i like the cleaner lines over the 22b ones). It's just my personal taste nothing to do with keeping it original, the most important thing tho is what you think.

You could always swap back over for a couple of weeks and then see if you miss the 22b ones after all, although personally I think the 22b vents look much better anyway

PMSL Exactly what I was thinking you attention seeking *****.

IMO there isnt much between them Scutch I like both look's however have you thought about the extra weight difference that the 22b vents add to the car???? Could possibly free up a few xtra BHP per tonne.....just a thought.

i like the proper rally cars larger intakes, but the 22b ones to me always looked a bit tacky

Considering that you havent messed too much with the P1 styling, I think the 22B vents should stay....
