Mine are 20mm, and are precision machine cut out of 10mm clear perspex, can be painted if needed but mine aren't.

Gonna make some various 5 and 10mm ones, gives a choice from 5 - 25mm.

This is an old system not a new idea-------- used on my road rally car for years to get good air flow and in winter to keep screen clear , (((derbyshire can be icy on the moors)) but on a removable /lift of bonnet---- on a hinged one to much lift and you wont open the bonnet!!!! lol
