 Re: bonnet vents
I've just done exactly the same thing due to the silly amount of underbonnet heat my car creates. I paid about $140 for the pair.

B210 Sleeper - that is actually the right spot for them. Once the air has travelled over the bonnet there is a low pressure zone which allows the hot air to escape and then there is a high pressure zone just before the windscreen. Intake vents should be mounted further back so they can take advantage of the high pressure zone. I have a Mercedes wind tunnel diagram somewhere which illustrates it really well. If anyone wants it just send me an email.

 Re: bonnet vents
yea for some funny reason alot of people mount them the wrong way round with them on this way they creat a venturi effect and one is near my air cleaner and he other is near my bov so you should also get a bit of induction noise

 Re: bonnet vents
i think i read that ideally they are at least as far back as the strut towers.

Looks good and it's even better to finally see someone using them the right way round.

I am a tight arse and currently my wags is going for the " Get the #### out daam hot air " approach.

Such a thing is a goood idea too. These help to evacuate hot air from the engine bay. this also helps to depressurise the engine bay, and allow less restricted flow throught the radiator. As I have a scoop, I too may need to look into doing something like this.
