Default XJS bonnet/hood vents

Has anyone seen any 'tasteful' bonnet vents on XJSs?
I was thinking of ways to vent heat out, without rain coming in..
One option would be real side vents, possibly with extractor fans for when stationary or car parked and turned off..
I don't think louvres would be great, but they may have been done nicely in the past.
Anyone got any pics?
cheers

I have seen XKR vents on an XJS I have also seen the guys in the UK cut the lip off the rear of the engine bay and remove the rubber seal, this allows the hot air out without letting water in.
