I was thinking about making some wing vents.
They would look abit like this but without the bit in the middle.
What do people think ?

it would work with the right bodykit but i dont think it'd suit standardish cars.would need to see a full side on pic to make a final decision.

pointless wing vents... the height of council chic.

Louvres could look ok.

dont think theyd look right on a normal e30, could look good on something with wide / tapering wings so the bit you push in follows the line of the door as the arch bulges away from it. on a flat pannel you're always going to have to slope the cut bit inwards which would make some odd looking angles.
cheers,

Had a little play with an old wing, it would need more work but I dont think I like it.
