Viewing: Vented Bonnets

Where can I pick up a vented bonnet for my mk3, as I want something to beef up the front of my motor a little. Contemplating a massive spoiler as well, lol.

Pedant alert!

Do you mean spoiler or wing?

You are correct sir, I do indeed mean wing. Lol. And I only know that because of the shopping I've been doing since making this post! Lol. I'm still learning all this car speak, lol.

What's a Pedant? (Prepares to be laughed at...)

Someone who is pedantic, meaning they like things to be correct, often to the point of obsession. Defines me, I guess

A classic example is the wing/spolier mistake made by a lot of people and many magazines which should know better. Even the advertisers often get it wrong!

However, what you won't get on TorqueCars is laughed at. The pi** being taken out of you (gently), yes. Argued with, yes. Moderated if you get out of hand, yes. Helped, yes. Hindered, probably

But not laughed at.

Just noticed that you hail from my part of the world (well. where I was dragged up). Lived in Blackfen for 20 odd years before I got married.

Until the Dutch House Cruisers decamped to The Wharf, near the Dartford Crossing, they used to meet at the Dutch House on Sidcup Road. A friend was a member so we often used to meet there for a meal and a chat.

Awesome man, that's like two minutes away. I know a few people into their cars, but not really got anyone together yet. Might have to consider it though. =]
