I’ll try a little lower, just need to keep it stuck on as thats very slopey.
@BlueAgave you sure verus is 6 inches? That looked further than images I’ve seen (but not got measurements)

bought some early model F-Type bonnet vents for the ND.
do i? dont i? ![]()
cars off to the dyno tomorrow! cant wait. had a quick run over all the fluid and bits to make sure its ok and ready. laptop charged up, ready to apply some ECU maps between the runs ![]()
It’s a no from me ![]()
Yep it’s all about where the high/low pressure areas under the bonnet occur for correct functional placement…Again stated by much wiser people than myself
In line with the ends of the number plate and back of the vent in line with centre of wheel.
thats a nifty little xray style view youve done there
i had them roughly aligned with the bonnet ‘groove’. but could move them inwards a bit. i’ll go get some different pics in a bit. need to move the car anyway.
not a turbo @Bol , but… ![]()
They’re a good fit looks-wise. No point unless they’re actually going to move heat away from the engine though - and unless that’s actually an issue. You’re not thinking of adding a turbo now are you?
Verus fitting pdf. the bonnet has a strut/moulding that vents line up with underneath. Checked a few other brands as well, all start in line with the rear tip of the bumper. You can see the water hose in this pic to give an idea.
aaah ive just read the instructions for the verus - they do 6 inches from the ‘other’ corner
i was measuring from the front corner by the number plate.
i’ll give it a proper look tomorrow
If you are after a performance gain then remember it’s not a fashion contest. Buy and fit the best performing vents.
Should you vent an engine that doesn’t need it? Wouldn’t it be running right?
From the pics it looks great with where you placed them they would definitely look good ![]()
If you increase the power of the engine, then increasing the cooling is a good idea. Bonnet vents placed in the right area (ie the low pressure area) will increase the flow through the radiator improving cooling. Vents will also improve aerodynamics pulling air out of the under bonnet area and reducing lift.
