DIY EVO Vent Blending/Attachement

[Astra]

What is the best process for attaching/blending in an EVO bonnet vent?

A: Cut the two wholes out of the bonnet and then attach/bond the vent to the topside of the bonnet and blend in.


or


B: Cut out a hole in the bonnet the size of the whole vent (big bloody hole) and then attach/bond and blend in.

For answer B, what is the best way to attach the vent to the bonnet. Also would this cvause the bonnet to be weaker and if so would it affect MOT's etc.?

Dont do B - it WILL crack!!!! (I assume the vent is plastic)

[NickWebb]

i was told neither cut a hole slightly smaller and attach it from under neath using as little filler as possible

So basically nick you would go with option b more or less.

I've checked with a few bodyshops and they seem to opt for option b also but how do i attache the vent so it is flush. All the bonnet supports and beams are in the way.
