Default Idea? Escos bonnet vents in S2 bonnet?

What you think?

As ive got a carbon roof i thought some nice carbon bonnet vents would go nice and as no one makes them for a S2 was thinking what Escos vents would look like on the S2 bonnet.
Would they look too big?
Need a paintshop here me thinks

Opinions?

Thats an Evo 4/5/6 vent. Just out of interest, has anyone ever fitted a Celica GT4 vent to a ford? There must have been something similar in Max Power ha ha.

Once seen a Mk6 Escort in either PF or FF with an L200 scoop, sure it was a white Rs2000.

Yeah it's RSandy. I had one years ago to put in my throttle bodied Fiesta right over the manifold. Genuine bonnet as well, but couldn't bring myself to cut something so rare to bits. Sold it for £200 and the bloke drove from Northern Ireland to pick it up.



Wish I kept it for future use.
