The bit i've been dreading. The louvre vents.
First I make a template ...
Using 30mm aluminium strip, B&Q @ £6, a vice and panel hammer, I make the vent surround ...
I then cut the louvres using the same 30mm strip ...
I tack them in (temporarily) with a hot glue gun and realise the louvres are too narrow ...
I loosely slot them into the vent hole to check their fit anyway. Not bad, but not good enough ...
Back down to B&Q, I purchase the 45mm alloy strip, cut and fit. Much better ...
Check how they look offered up to the car. Getting better ...
I replace the hot glue with araldite to fix the louvres permanently (hopefully). Then clean with wire wool, prime and spray with chrome paint ...
Not bad. But I am not happy about the inner joins. You can see a little glue (above). Will have to sort that.
