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.

What do you think of this variant?
