New hood vents
Just came back from a day at a race and while looking at all the GTRs, M3 etc, I noticed that most had aftermarket hoods with louvres or Cooling vents in them. As the Duell seems the only pricey option I was thinking of cutting some vents to let some hot air out. Where do people think the most effective place would be? Just above the scoop, further back towards the screen, either side of the engine in the middle or over the wings. Advice feedback appreciated before I start cutting!

Hi Robbo. I saw that challenge scoop...OUCH! That's a lot for some plastic! It's even got holes in it!
If the vents were in back of the scoop, between it and the windscreen, would the air come through the scoop and the hot air out of the vents?
Maybe next to the turbo as Malcon suggested. I have no problem with the cutting and the doing, just want the best place to put the vents. Are they necessary at all?
Cheers

If your not using the scoop for air intake air then the scoop behind the intake scoop would circulate the air nicley.
M7 had a scoop setup for the R53 that did this... and helps the air move through the ic..

this may work great for this model.

My guess is most hood venting on the mini is going to be more aesthetic than functional.
That said I thing these look pretty good:

Do you have photos of the under/backside?
You may be able to use those as molds for the carbon or glass parts with hand lay up. Interested from a composites tech stand point... technical curiosity ya know.
Love the idea of folks making there own carbon parts. Post up as it goes, would love to see those done in carbon!
Nice fabrication by the way!
