Nice one Tony, how did you go about doing that? did you fabricate a the vent then let it in?

It was a fibre-glass panel - I made two parallel cuts in the panel where the scoop is, and then another near vertical one that followed the leading edge on the GP panel. This gave me cuts that looked like a
H on it's side.
I then pushed the leading flap in, and pulled the trailing flap out, to give me the opening. I then built up the gaps and shaped an inlet in fibre-glass matting (So the majority of the scoop is the original panel).
I wanted the scoop to blend in to the lines of the GP panel from the side, but with a BIG hole
Another self indulgent picture below:

Cheers Ton, just the look i want but unfortuantley i have metal panels. Shame really as there are loads of fibre glass scoops on he market that could be easily blended in. Doesnt look as though you can buy the metal equivalant though...
Nice pic, where was that?

You can do the same in metal ,just cut to three sides ,pull out and weld in some wedge shaped fillets(asuming you have a welder)
