pfunk - each wheel deserves its own. And don't forget the door handles - they deserve one - each. Rear view mirrors? Sure.



(gawd, I'm in the wrong business...)

I think Gromit might need a set to go on the rear fenders so that they match the vents on the front fenders!

...and this post got me into third gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With enough of these "vents" you should have a lighter car. Think about it.

A vent is a hole in the metal, so more holes = less metal. There for the car will be lighter. So with enough of these you can have better airflow and a lighter car.


And to the winning bidder I will sale my genuine napolian dynomite style time machine!

OK. This guy us selling these stick on vents for all sorts of cars with photos. I just thought of this but picture this... It's really funny.

Guy is walking around in a car park at a shopping mall looking for cool looking cars... Hey there is a BMW M3! MINI Cooper S! He/She runs to the car and stick the vents and take a picture and run!

First tip off: Maybe I'm wrong but in their own description they call them "Fender vents" but they put them on the door. Since when did a door become part of the fender?

The fenders aren't that big in the first place, and they already have one. Ya gotta put them SOMEWHERE!

MiniMaxx, don't you get excessive heat build up in your doors? Is it just me? Maybe it's just the classic mini's. I think these would really help me with my problem.

When I read the thread title, for some reason I expected Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck to jump out and break into that song...
