Bonnet Flutes?

[Taddy]

Hi,
Just wondering can you get flutes for your bonnet?
I have a VY executive series 2.
If you can get them how much would they be?
Thankyou

If you want it to look original have you thought of getting a Monroe bonnet

[Taddy]

Yeah we thought of that age ago but I think its too popular now though.

take a shotgun and give it some of Homer Simpson's patented "Speed Holes" or you could get crafty with a grinder.

Seriously, you could start with Alfa Motorsport fibreglass and go from there.

[Taddy]

Hhhmmm will have to see with what we come up with.

Keep the responses coming please.

[VT-565]

Well, do you have any constraints?
I'm guessing you're on a budget.
So do you want to change the whole bonnet or just put some vents in?
Because for what it's worth, the cosworth bonnet vents are quite functional and unobtrusive.
Do a google and you might be able to turn some up.

But please, PLEASE don't put a nissan patrol scoop in as some person has done here in town, on a VT clubsport, it looks horrid.

monaro bonnet would probly be the best way to go

[Taddy]

I want the monaro bonnet but the husband wants something different.

[Lumps of cheese]

If you're going to do anything at all i think the monaro bonnet aswell is the best option. Anything else is a huge gamble, might not come out the way you think and then you're stuck with it.

Not a big fan of them, but SSV has lots:

I decided to not go with a Monaro bonnet...just far to common now & the XR8 bonnet hump thing is also being done to death. The old VK GroupA bonnet scoop is making a come back but I went a different way.

Last legend, it's a little hard to make out because of the glossy paint. You can take that as a compliment if you want, but is there a hole through the bonnet or is it cosmetic? if so, did it drop your engine temps any?

[Adam_88]

check out this monaro bonnet somthing different

[one_and_only2004]

im pretty sure thats a pontiac drift spec bonnet (the hothouse green one). I was talking to a lady with one on her VU SS and it was about $1500 + painting

Hi, no its no just cosmetic there are two big holes cut through the bonnet to extract the hot air from under the hood. it tends to act like a vacume and sucks the hot out while the air flows over the scoop.

the engine temp has dropped a little as I drove it for the first time yesterday between Brisbane and the Gold Coast and the temp guage was a fraction lower.

What I have noticed is the increase in power due to opening up the front Grill and forcing a hell of a lot more cold air into the CAI and with the Bonnet scoop it has kept the engine running cooler.

I will try and post a better pic as your right the Black paint work I just had redo is so very glossy due to the extra coast of clear I had added to give it a deeper effect.

Sorry just got my camera back from a mate.
