?? There shouldn't be any gaps.
Or maybe I'm thinking of the wrong area of the vents ?
If it's fitted properly, the fan/air con should blow really strong, should have no difference from the bora.
Otherwise maybe try sikaflex?

And make sure where ever it's being used, that it's still possible to pull apart stuff, if the dash was to ever come out for what ever reason
Otherwise it's stuck for good!

I didn't, but make up a gasket out of something water proof, maybe some sort of hosing?

Seems to seal up ok... good enough for me anyway.

Had enough of wiring and I think other then a air bag light I don't need any more for roady.
Threw a bit more trim back in, gave it a quick wipe down with some apc and a quick vac, will get a better job when I'm done.

Any one with a Vento in aus meant to know what actually goes here?
And do all Aussie ventos have the dimple/foam lining?

Also had a quick play around with the passenger 1/4 panel as it's still not sitting right, being it came off the golf I think it might have been bent to suit other damaged caused by an accident it had previously had. Getting better though.

Also pulled the front and rear badge as the front was pretty crusty and had no chrome left. Will probably just do them black once I figure out how to separate the rear badge from its backing plate

This arrived, not 100% sold on the carbon in my cars theme. But much better then the other two wheels I have currently.

Also picked up a heater seat dummy switch delete. Will allow me to install a single guage, hopefully for boost later on, but for now I'll be getting a clock to match my new cluster. Much thanks for Greg at carformance!

Unfortunately it's to suit a LHD car being from 42DD, so a bit of tweaking will see it in the RHD dash soon.

Swapped post cat exhaust to the one from thestus old Vento, while it had a few pin holes in the final pipe section it was a much easier repair then mine. Just got to reconnect at the cat and refit guards.

Hopefully dad is bringing another part to the rain tray. half of mine had a seal and the other half was missing a seal, so getting two without and just running some generic rubber between for roady, have other plans for the wipers later on.

Off to buy some bulbs for the 3rd brake light over the weekend, it's getting closer!
