They are universal fit. I got some but had to spend an hour cutting out the vents to make them functional. I took a metal grinder to my bonnet and fitted them and had success. So basically if they're the ones I'm thinking of, they're NOT functional unless you hack into them.

Ya, My Left hand side one blows right onto my throttle body and the temp guage stays one whole line cooler. When i'm in traffic idling the hot air gets out easier as well.

i quite like them on any car so long as they are as said functional,,i don't think you need a specific type of car to use them,,the thing that gives me the willie's is when they are painted a different colour to the rest of the car,,except black,,black goes with anything.

The square ones are cosworth vents. They're really nice. Juast take a grinder to the cheap ones and modify!

Ive got the "moffat" or "cosworth" ones, (whichever name you want to use) and they are functional. one is where the battery is, the other i have modded the air box to get cold air straight from outside. I have some pics of it somewhere on here.
