I think they would look pretty cool on a MCS hood either oriented like on the Jag hood...

...or flip sides and mount them horizontal.

good idea. i think those side ways would look awesome!

No Jag dealers down there?

Actually, I don't have a Jag store in the complex at work(there's one across the street), but I have two of these cars parked outside my Bentley store.
I'll try to measure them tomorrow, Bart.

Ata Boy,

Nam brotherhood at work.

Dimensions would be great, I might swap out what I have for these. Love the "supercharged" label.

The long or "supercharged" side of the vent is about 14"...the short side to the right is about 4.5"

they will proabably need to be mounted the same way as the Jag hood. Personally, love the "supercharger" lettering.

Man, you are funny! I'll try to call you later.

Seriously, stop at a Jag dealer and maybe you can see how they are held in. While you're there, you can get pricing too.

You may need another hood...

The Jag vents are ROCKIN.... but it's much cooler to have part of an old TR7 on your car than part of a new Jag.... IMHO... but there is only one Gnat.

That said... I could see having the Jag vents on one of my MINIs someday... sweet.

I agree 100%. A friend of mine had a TR7 in high school in the early 90's. I have a lot of fond memories of riding around it his car picking up chicks. Now that I think about it, he had a couple TR7s… he kept wrapping them around trees…

Probably a good thing

.

His hood rocks.

The only thing he could have done to make it more over the top would have been to have someone hammer a new hood from scratch out of aluminum.

And I bet he thought about it too.
