Default 409 bonnet ventilation

Well I must say I've been tempted to have louvres cut into a lovely Bristol bonnet to release the scorching air that we generate in such large amounts.
And today's climate change makes this all the more critical.

I do remember as a plus side for all the spare heat emitted, that four of us parked in an icy layby one Winters day and were unable to proceed. However we waited 10 minutes and a generous patch thawed around the whole car ,enabling us to proceed gracefully on our way.
