Fitting F50 Bonnet Vents

[simontigra]

HI GUYS
COULD ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO FIT F50 BONNET VENTS TO MY TIGRA OR SHOULD I JUST LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A GO MYSELF BUT IF YOU THINK IT IS TOO RISKY THEN I SHALL LEAVE IT. THANKS!!

Leave it to the experts

Some one near me attempted fitting some into their Ford Fiesta bonnet (mk3 version I think).
I see it driving around for about 2 days, then for some reason, they replaced the whole bonnet with a new one.
No idea why, but it looked a bit sh*t (I think).

I like the EVO one better than the F50.

I was thinking about fitting an EVO onto my bonnet.

The only trouble is the filler cracking when you or your 'best friend' decides to slam the bonnet down from a great height.

If you are gunna attempt to do it, I would get the thing in place and mark out where to cut into the bonnet, then once you have cut the holes Rivit the scoop down. Then smooth it in.

Probably still crack though

i posted a thread about fitting an evo vent a while ago. Do a search on my name and look at that. Lots of info from someone.

What i cant understand is why would it crack when i do it and not when a bodyshop does it?
Do they use a special filler? If so why not just use the same one.

Bodyshop's stuff isn't supernaturally good or anything, it would crack if a bodyshop did it. But they may use different materials and techniques to reduce the risk of it happening.
