had a spare vent knocking about so thought i would kill the boredom and make another pod

wasnt prepared to utilise my A pillar again so thought i would knock up a vent one instead. its basically a fibreglass insert that can be removed and the vent can be put back to a standard vent again if needs be.

it does'nt look much cop at the mo but its out again at the minute as it needs a lip on it like the ones you can buy (£75 )

hopefully it will stop me getting bored and will be finished soon unless i lose interest

Looks cool to me

If you're still bored, fancy knocking me one up for one of the centre grills ?

cheers

assuming its a single vent pod it would be the same size as the side vent?...i'll see how this one goes

lip added today, now just needs a final smooth over and paint then it's back to being bored at work

looks good buddy

Looks Pretty good Bud

agreed

was always gonna need a lip on it as the vent curves and the gauge didnt sit right in it, hopefully it will look ok

how many hours sanding did that take ?

From start to finish it's took about 5-6 hours 'ish' :yes:

I've had to paint it red for the moment as I've no other paint here at work and needed to see if the paint would sink.

as it stands now, till i can get some paint to match the vent.

your hands must hurt !

... Well you could paint the your new grill black ...

or you could go with the red theme, here's a matching steering wheel

ps not being serious

( wheel would fit an Octy though - ebay listing )

that 5-6 hours was from when i actually first started it to how it is now (not including drying time), not sanding time

as for the steering wheel i already have one

although i was gonna get it recovered all black but now.......................

so now you need to paint all your other grills red

think i'll pass on that and try and match the colour to the vent and get the wheel re covered

Red black leather/red leather trimmed vRS style interior would look very cool e.g replace white bits with red leather or suede :p
