im worried that its not going to be getting much air.

air feeds may be the only answer, but i hate the way they look when you have a rude boy spec chrome trumpet drilled into the grille...

ahh right..yeah they look a bit gay, only time they 'work' is with quad lamp grille, and inner(s) are used as air feeds....Pug 206 style maybe? Ha.

Bonnet raisers are only for Ford freaks and RS Turbo's and they still look s**t on them

As for bonnet vents anything stuck on looks a bit tack, cut in louvers like on the Rado ftw Thumbs up

Bleed clutch
Hook up shift tower
wire up gauges
Wire in reverse light sensor
wire in brake light switch
hook the throttle cable up
hook speedo cable up
