S3 brake vent/ducting ?'s
This is pretty basic I'm sure but I don't have a S3 car to tear apart and look at so I have to ask. Anyway, On S3 cars there are holes in the vailance to cool the brakes. If I want to put that on a 83 is that all there is or is there some kind of ductwork behind that I would have to install as well? TIA

Well, technically thats whats there, but given the condition of the ones on my car, I think you'd be better off making a custom setup out of dryer hose, and appropriate fasteners (read: duct tape and bailing wire), rather than trying to find a set of vanes thats actually in good shape. Here's the pics of mine before I took them off:

As you can see, they weren't doing much to duct any air.
