AB bonnet question

Hey guys, just wondering with the AB bonnet, those middle air vents, when it rains does it leak down to the engine? or theres somethin to block it? But if its blocked then it kills the whole purpose with the vents?

Nothing to block it ...

But due to the angle, not much water would get down there anyway ... The one to worry about is on the side ... Espcially if you have an un-boxed pod filter...

i have the AB style bonnet and i did have an issue with the plugs fowling up due to water logging but a qiuck seal of the cover cap fixed that and now i got no probs.
there the best bonnet ive ever had sooo much air flow no heat stays in the engine bay and looks so agresive too

indeed thats the right one xj265. So where would i get the seal to cover the side vents? well where did u get yours? and u cover it from under the bonnet right?

i never got covers to block the vents just to stop water getting into the plugs i sealed the engine cover with a rubber gasket took me like 10 bucks and 30 mins to make

theres a guy who just bought one in the uk, he's getting rubber tubing to carry any water that comes in through the ab bonnet and the rubber tubes will bring the water under the car.

Wou;ldnt be a bad idea actually, you could just run the hose to the vents and slit a little cut line and the water would just drip down right in the hose just like house gutters
