How To: Fitting a Genuine Scooby Vent

[DaveB]

Stole a subaru vent the other week and wanted it fitted for PV so took a trip to my bodyshop on saturday to get it all done

Here is a quick guide of how they did it:

Obtain Vent and Paint to Required Colour


Mask up Bonnet and line base of vent up where you want it


Draw round base and mark up where you want to cut out, drill holes in each corner accordingly


Cut out marked space with relevant tool - in this case an airsaw


Trim up the edges to make it tidy and admire your chunk of bonnet


Fit base of vent from underneath to check sizing


Rivet in Place


Rivet base of scoop to bonnet also, and bond the front - tape down until it sticks


Enjoy looking over your new scoop, and enjoy inlet temps (if you have TBs) of ambient....awesome


OK, I guess it's abit of a chav-vent. But its genuine, it's been fitted very well and the car is sooo much better for the cooler air. Well chuffed

Thanks for reading.

That's the best vented gsi I've seen. Colour still looks awesome.

[paul0]

daveB... Wooo, just noticed your got concept PBT (general trim cleaner, like blue gel) Where did you get that from? Just i use it at work and its prob the best ive seen, costs alot from work. info?

[Violet]

No way!! I designed that logo!! Used to do loads of printing jobs for them.

[paul0]

what logo?

[Violet]

'Concept'. I, ahem, redesigned it, anyway.

[paul0]

ahh, its some good stuff

[Dazzi-Gsi]

Not normally a fan of bonnet vents like that but that does look good

[DaveB]

Thanks all vent was cut in with bonnet shut - but we checked for clearance first

I get concept stuff from a local err, shop. There polish is by FAR the best I've ever used

[jimbo750]

OK, I guess it's abit of a chav-vent.

Yep ...

[Dazzi-Gsi]

Infact that is one stunning Gsi mate

[SimonP]

Looks really well Dave. Nice to see one that's not been blended into the bonnet. Looks like it could have been fitted like that.

Hope all that bare metal was protected.

[Phil349]

looks excellent mate, really like that front end, very mean looking!

[DaveB]

bare metal was all painted over before vent was finally bonded in place

Thanks lads
