Title: Louvers Yes / No Post by: Helge/DFL on January 19, 2017, 16:34:32 pm I am thinking about to press some louvers in the decklit of my black `62. What do you think? Is that Cal Look?
Title: Re: Louvers Yes / No Post by: leec on January 19, 2017, 16:41:48 pm I think they are more suited to a de-chromed car personally
Lee Edit-and I really like your car as it is :) Title: Re: Louvers Yes / No Post by: baz on January 19, 2017, 17:50:43 pm Cabriolet louvres would look better imo
Title: Re: Louvers Yes / No Post by: Zach Gomulka on January 19, 2017, 17:54:54 pm Do it on a spare decklid, try it out.

Title: Re: Louvers Yes / No Post by: Andrew on January 19, 2017, 20:19:11 pm Why not get a cab deck lid and paint it to match your car?

NEIN HELGE!!!!! Geht gar nicht!!!! No Way!!! Title: Re: Louvers Yes / No Post by: Martin S. on January 19, 2017, 21:08:21 pm What about an oil cooler on the roof? ;D
Title: Re: Louvers Yes / No Post by: Jim Ratto on January 19, 2017, 22:01:41 pm Do you need to admit more fresh air into engine?
If so, maybe consider doing like the 1974- cars (maybe North America only?) had the air flap vent behind license plate? The old VW number for it was 133-827-601. If you can find a good working one, maybe work that into your stock decklid.... I've thought about doing something similar to the vent behind license plate on my '67 and removing lower standoff.

If you donīt like it, I could try it on mine ;) Title: Re: Louvers Yes / No Post by: Andrew on January 20, 2017, 08:45:09 am Do you need to admit more fresh air into engine?

I like this idea! Title: Re: Louvers Yes / No Post by: Helge/DFL on January 20, 2017, 09:14:30 am I love it ! I will try it on my spare-decklit.
Title: Re: Louvers Yes / No Post by: jamiep_jamiep on January 20, 2017, 10:48:27 am I personally like louvres, but am with Lee, I don't think they'd suit that particular (very very nice btw) car.
Title: Re: Louvers Yes / No Post by: max Der Bahnstormerz on January 20, 2017, 21:03:49 pm No!! They'll end up sucking cool air out of the engine bay
