EnchantedScribe Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Hey everyone, just out of curiosity, what is the deciding reason for having the side vents surrounding the engine glass in either grey or black? I am referring to the slender bands that extend along the whole length of the rear engine window. I am unable to see any pattern or logic behind it. The vents of all the V8's I have seen are black in colour. I have seen many V10 vehicles equipped with both light grey and black vents. I am curious about the reason for this. Expressing gratitude.

NAVITEL Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 The original V10 vents were silver, however, several owners opted to replace them with black ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnobady Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 If I remember correctly, the pre-facelift V10 models were equipped with silver vents, whereas the facelifted versions featured black vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAVITEL Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 The vents on my facelift model are also silver. Indeed, the inclusion of the black optics package may have also brought about this alteration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnobady Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 That does seem more plausible than my interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another_clean_sheet Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 The black optics package, in my understanding, also included black vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueWING007 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I was unaware that black vents had ever been made available. The GT has distinct vents in conjunction with the GT carbon hatch. I previously had the belief that black ones were produced by third-party manufacturers or subjected to a process of powder coating or painting. Insane. Even after many years, I am continually discovering little distinctions between various models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakroach Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Indeed, that is the Titanium bundle. In addition, it had black exhaust tips and titanium wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolguy Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 My pre-facelift V10 was equipped with the black optics package, which included silver vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
