Ive seen a lot of them with big kits and massive wheels but mine will be stock body and sensible wheels. something i can drive around to the shops and still thrash it at the track

Main reason of getting rid of it was to move to something more practical.. something with air con, stereo and any mods done to be legal apart from too low :P I have learnt not to remove the niceties in a car haha :P

So, you never really went into detail about cutting your hood vents. Did you tape before cutting, did you use a cutoff wheel, and did you do anything to finish the edge?
EDIT: Never mind. I went back and saw you put down tape, used an angle grinder, then done. I'm impressed it the cuts came out so clean.

Yeah basically just taped it.. only did it by eye then using a thin wheel on the grinder i carefully made the cuts.. im use to working with grinders so i suppose its just easy for me to make it straight.
