dummy side vents

Hi All,

can anyone confirm that the 72 Capri came out with the pressed metal dummy vents or the cast iron ones ? I always assumed it was the solid ones but was told this morning that the pressed ones would be correct for my car.

regards Paul

Are you sure? The Parts Catalogue 122C has a listing for them. Year is stated as 69 onwards/

im trying to remove the facelift fake vents from my pre-face lift MK1 (teal glow ). J.R , i think you can clarify that they are held on with auto silicon. I tried heating them with a hairdryer as you suggested to try and prise them off but have had no luck. Does anyone know if there is a solvent available that will disolve the silicon without damaging the paintwork - or should i persist with trying to heat them up ? I'm sure if i applied heaps of force i could remove them but i'm looking for a gentler way of doing it without doing any damage - they are stuck on seriously strong

I stuck them on with silastic so I did not have to drill holes, best bet is a long blade like one of the snap off type from a click out knife

great advise with the fishing line - it kind of worked, but it wasn't quite strong enough and kept snapping - although the answer was right in front of me - I ended up using a wire trace from my fishing box. ripped through it like a hot knife through butter.

thanks Paul
