Yup!Did it come with the shutters pre-installed?
(Or at least, I didn't put 'em in!)
For your information though, they look freakin' awesome. OK?

You can buy the vents from Custommania for 150 Euros. TMS also use them on their racer but I don't think they offer them as a mod

They look good in a "racer" kind of way if that's your thing....But I reckon you're just waiting for a cracked screen (unless you have mesh bonded to underside of the vents?)
The TVR Tuscans came with the same idea in their front clam....Until a raft of broken screens forced TVR to fill the holes (leaving just the louvre "profile")

as Rob and I were taking the pish when Snoop was round mine for mounts, there isnt a hole in the liner to let the air through, so no cracked screen 
I'd mount them the other way to shred pedestrians, but im a twunt

The previous owner had them done at TMS so they certainly did offer them, no idea if they still do or not though.You can buy the vents from Custommania for 150 Euros. TMS also use them on their racer but I don't think they offer them as a mod
Any decent bodyshop should be able to do 'em though.
Indeed, and no water all over me if you drive through a puddle with the roof off.as Rob and I were taking the pish when Snoop was round mine for mounts, there isnt a hole in the liner to let the air through, so no cracked screen
Allegedly they still disrupt the flow over the top of the clam and hence reduce lift, plus they appear offer a lot of extra cooling potential for the radiator (when I got stuck in traffic for about an hour on a hot day and then parked up, the heat was rushing out of them). But mainly they just look good
