	I was expecting bonnet/boot louvres when I read the title, but love these too. I remember my uncle's Mk1 capri had one fitted. I wonder what era of car they stopped making these? You never see any for cars 2000 era on...or do ya?

	I think towards the end of the 80s they just got forgotten about. Truth be told they don't look "right" anything newer.

	Funny how when it's the rear window it's achingly cool and period kudos ...and with the side windows too... ahhhh... not so much I'd love one for my own FB but not sure if I'm ironic enough to pull it off And the ultimate expression oi louvre-tasm;

	The Delorean louvres ar such pure design, I love them. I once had an Ra28 with a rather fetching shadowline tin louvre on it which was quite nice (curse word photos!)
