Had to double check there, as I thought I'd logged into corsaboi.co.uk by mistake...  :jumping:

Good, I'm not the only one then.  :smiley:

I'll obviously have to do more research into what's best and what style duct works better for getting hot air out best. Was just seeing if anyone had done it before. Bigger vents should work better than narrower ones

Because race car lol

Forgot the average age on the forum was 67!!! Lmao

Ideally the closer to the front is better but not possible due to the internal webbing, high pressure at rear and low near the front due to the air coming off the front of the car. Again the fiesta vents where chosen with shape in mind and trying to match with the curves of the car. Gurney flaps would help no end but it ain't a race car so not bothering. Heat does rise out if there a lot and at low speed should work perfectly high speeds another story, anyway my car do what I like.

Just off up tesco to cruz init!!!?!

Just seems like a solution to a problem which isn't really a problem.

Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

How about a full cooling bonnet?

There are quite a few different types available.
