kebster 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 They look like the renualt clio 16v vents so id say after market Link to post Share on other sites
benh999 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 looking at the bonnet it looks too OE. unless someone is tasty with the tin snips!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 They have been put in. VW don't put vents in bonnets Link to post Share on other sites
benh999 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 well I'll say the work is top notch, when we swapped the bonnets over we were both convinced that they were OE Link to post Share on other sites
b19drg 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Dunno but they look good ! Link to post Share on other sites
J5KE F 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 They do appear to be a 'factory' fit and are Very well installed Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Dunno but can I have the headlights...just the right colour!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Rustyman 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 They actually look and remind me of The Vents Astra GTE's used to run ( the one's that had a digital dash like knight rider ) .... Link to post Share on other sites
benh999 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 They do appear to be a 'factory' fit and are Very well installed Yup, the fitment is very impressive for an aftermarket product. I just need those rims now to get my stance right. Anyone need some polished Audi winters? Now for sale :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Rustyman 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Def Astra Vents... see pics And the car they come from ... sorry distant pic...Still impressive how well fitted they are would be interested to see under side of bonnet... Link to post Share on other sites
J5KE F 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I should have picked this up before ben as i had one of those back in the day.. Loved it and it had the digi dash too! Link to post Share on other sites
Rustyman 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Am i that sad that i knew it was GTE vents and i never owned on in my life... !!! Link to post Share on other sites
benh999 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'll get the bonnet up first thing and put up some pics. Even from underneath the fitment looks o/e. The vents are stamped GM tho Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 81 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 defo astra!! self praise rusty,lol you know what they say about that dont you. Something along the lines of self praise is no praise at all ha ha Link to post Share on other sites
benh999 0 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Is it possible the holes have somehow been machine pressed? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 i was reading page one and thought they are GTE vents but someones put them in backwards, then read the rest and found out they are loleasy enough to fit, drill holes in each corner and connected them up with an air saw, fit and finish just depend on the skill and patience of the man doing the job Link to post Share on other sites
benh999 0 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 In principle yes but does not explain how the upper bonnet skin has been pressed to accomodate the vents? Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 They would certainly help with underbonnet temps on one of the turbo'd VR's. Link to post Share on other sites
