Cant help with the vents, but agree they do look cool.
I am not 100% sure thay are an easy mod though.

:beat: Doh, won't be recommending him again then - what's up with them fit / quality :blink:

If you raise a Paypal resolution they will be forced to respond, otherwise Paypal will refund the money (just had to do this myself, but only over a fiver) - that's provided you paid with Paypal tho :huh:

TMS sell carbon fibre ones, so it may be worth finding out who has had a set fitted as they should now have some spare :)

What about trying Blue VXR # 65's mate, who's doing all the other carbon fibre bits in the group-buy forum, he might be able to rustle some up in cf if there's enough interest?
