Bonnet scoop? was created by Lambert
Whatcha. Before I get busy with the micro grinder do we know if anyone sells either a mesh or louvre replacement for the blanking plate on the bonnet scoop gen3? I ask as yesterday I had my first significant punt along the motorway and on reaching my destination there was significant heat escaping through the panel gaps around the bonnet which is leading me to think that additional ventilation might not be unreasonable. I accept that it would promote the ingestion of rain into the engine bay but the amount of heat generated would soon evaporate all but the very worst. Also I am not a fan of fake air ducting so if its there it might as well be functional.

Personally I'd just get rid of the vent. It doesn't do anything and doesn't need to be there. I can't see any advantage of extra cooling either. Engines generate heat, it's not a problem.

It's moulded into the bonnet skin. Removing is not an option.

They must have something, but failing finding OEM, stainless steel rodent mesh (various hole sizes available) looks good and can be shape easily. My 2CV has it as standard over the air intake (it's a Citroen part!)

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

From one of the locals here in the Philippines that has access to a laser cutter:
Isn't a normal stock item but I could inquire. From memory, cost was equivalent to about $20 USD.
I would agree with Busta that it isn't necessary. I think the only reason I did it was that I didn't see the point in having a hood scoop that was blocked.

I would suspect that postage costs would render that unviable? I agree that if Suzuki though it was necessary they would have done it themselves but I too have issues with fake vents and aero.
