I will heatshield the underside of the bonnet and was even contemplating jacking up and spacing the rear of the bonnet on the hinges (I quite like that look tbh)

when i first bought my saff the previous owner did track days with it even though he told me he never lying dishonest c..t from chingford. before some people start pissing them selfs i dont mean every body from chingford. mines only a stg1 and the heat damage to the paint work bonnet and even the o/s front wing was bad. i would say vents all the way
