Fitting Ecosse Air Vents

danny · Post by **danny** » Mon Apr 15, 2002 1:49 pm

Just got my air vents back from the spray shop and I'm hitting a small snag when i come to fit them.

The vents fit by some expanding push pins (got through the vents and into the body work and grab hold), the problem is that on the replacement vents their not long enough to go through the vents and into the body work holes to grab hold! Doh

Any one else have this problem, or got any suggestions to get them to fit?

I really want them fitting, hate the black pastic ATM.

Hiya,

Interested to know how much Ecosse charged including postage to do your bonnet vents. My mates had a whip round for my 40th and paid Â£48 from my dealership and they did a lovely job. They look really good!

Did the dealer paint the existing ones and did they have the car for long? Its going to be my first "extra" as not keen on the black plastic ones.

NikNik :rolleyes:

Niknik,

They painted the existing ones and had the car from Monday morning to Wednesday afternoon but it was having a mesh grill fitted and my leak sorted at the same time. They did say though that when I get my bumpers colour coded it would be a couple of days. Presume paint and stuff needs to dry before next coat and things.

Eh?> it only takes 2-3 hours to prep/paint/refit the bumper inserts etc..

So whats with the 2-3 days?

Dunno? They just said it would be a couple of days and I could have a courtesy car while it was being done. I think they were only saying 2 days so I didn't have to wait around for it. Castleford isn't the best place in the world to while away 3 hours!
