Are there any benefits to running these open air vents?

Oops, Awesome has increased the price to 50 quid. :surprised:
I had the problem getting these open air vents. Fischer does not sell them anymore, and Awesome had problems getting them from their usual source, I had to wait a few weeks. Now they get them shipped from USA, so that must be the reason for price increase.

My dealers got them in stock so I'm picking them up tomorrow, hopefully not for the full price though! :happy2:

Got to admit, I prefer the closed ones too - they just look to flimsy. A stone or something at a higher speed could decimate that and cause some real grief (imho)

They are extremely strong - not brittle plastic as you might imagine. It would take one hell of a stone / rock to break one I should think.
I was under the impression that these vents were originally designed for cars in the middle / far east (hotter climates) to assist with DSG gearbox cooling but were eventually deemed unnecessary by VW. Then again i'm probably completely wrong / misinformed :confused:
