off topic, but do you feel some hot air pumping outta that vent on the bonnet?

must blow some hot air straight out from under the bonnet right?

Car definately runs cooler,at the end of the day heat rises when the car is parked and you have just turned the motor off if you put your hand there you can feel the hot air escaping. I don`t tnink it is being sucked out from on top as much as I thought it would but the air going through the bonnet would definately be pushed through.

Actually in theory it should act like a cowel hood on the A9X's and have cold air being pushed in by the low pressure spot infront of the windscreen. :)

As for the stickers, silver would seem to be the way to go but in the end it comes down to personal preference.

I think you will find on the A9x the cowel hood actually goes to the end of the bonnet in front of the windscreen where as my shaker stops about 15 cm before the end of the bonnet therefore giving a different effect.

Hell of a lot more rake on both the bonnet and the windscreen there'd be nil backdraft at the intersection.

I vote neither, just an opinion. :spoton:

Have you seen Fraggle's stickers on his XR8 bonnet, Turbo 240 it says, not bad for a tranny (the car, not Fraggle!!  :bump: ).

You sure you got that right Ross?
