Rob Fairbrother has got/had one on his GSi Turbo. Click here for pics.

What about GSi vents cut and blended in?

better pic to show the angles on the gsi vents

no - was done by psg and painted by colorworx - who in my opinion havnt done a great job - flaws in the prep and paint are commin thru - no cracks just paint/prep faults- but it was mint when it came out the bodyshop - im not the only migger to be unhappy with the 2 companies

and just while i remember - i lost 10c when the chargecooler was fitted and a further 10c when the vented bonnet went on - seein as its right over the manifold my inlet temp averages at 25 or below - standard gsi vents are not really much good at venting out the underbonnet heat as i thought about scooby ones - i didnt realise how much heat would escape out of the car till it was done

can you still buy proper plastic stenimitz splitters any where???

**triple8** · 20-07-2002 11:57

on line autosport i think bought some sort of copyright (not too sure if they just altered the design slightly or they did have a deal with steinmetz) to produce a steinmetz shape - out of fibreglass - around 150 quid i think - rupean is due to pick one up any day now

**andi1** · 21-07-2002 15:34

yes they look ok but i wanted a proper plastic 1 to match stenemitz mirrors etc. im a bit warey of fibreglass to be honest!
have steinemitz stopped making them or something?

**triple8** · 21-07-2002 15:39

i think they are no longer in manufacture by steinmetz - someone correct me if im wrong tho

**Rupean** · 21-07-2002 19:51

rich your right, steinmetz dont do them anymore.
