Side Air Vents

[Willis]

Bic, fancy looking into making the vents from Carbon too whilst you're at it? I reckon that'd look a little better than the plastic Renault used.

remove the acoustic valve and you will see the gap that the vent uses to suck hot air out of the engine bay, definitely not a dummy

Does anyone know how they are fitted on? As one of mine have come off and need to fix it

Little circle clips that bite into the plastic lugs. A pain to get off and very easily snapped.

While giving the n/s vent a clean just now it popped into the wing and thought I'd have a poke around to see if air could actually reach the area... as you can see there was (head) light at the end of the tunnel!



I think you'd have to be moving at quite some speed to have a decent amount of air flow but the n/s vent is certainly not only for show. As you can see the cavity is quite spacious and the area around the vent had a few fully formed leaves gathering.

p.s the clips on the outer edge of the vent that attach to the round metal clips on the wing are very fragile.
