Well, guys.  I kind of like the original works rally car vents.  I made some
for my car, now recently sold.  I have pictures of it here.

I tried to think of what Giovanni (Michelotti) himself would have done with
the vents.  Clearly he did not really like straight lines, and I decided that
the straight front leading edge of the trapezoidal cut-out was not the best.
I made it have a gentle curve to follow the wheel well line.  I think it looks
great.  However, matters of taste are not really debatable, so if you guys
prefer some roughly rectangular cut, that is great too.

I used a spitfire grille section instead of the square herald grille that was
used originally.

Here is a link to the pictures.

the bottom.  Click on the pix to get a larger view.

What do you think of this variant?
