What's causing the problem and where/to what extent does it need more room?

bonnet shuts ok without the vent fitted..  but with it just catches the new manifold.  Been quoted from spa for a new fully carbon custom made bonnet..£2500 and i get to keep the mould.  ;) Taking the car round next week.

i think i would be tempted to cut out the vent hole a bit bigger to the permimeter, and then just simple black mesh over it.

This is the bonnet that my friend made for his subbie. I am thinking of doing something similar, but more rounded to suit the bio design of the celica st185.

That looks pretty cool, although Im not too sure how it would suite the ol' 185. Maybe if it were a bit more round/curvy, as you say?

I had an idea of something similar, but more along the lines of basically taking a scoop similar in style to the standard ATA 185, and installing it backwards over the hole, to allow the escape of the hot air. Essentially just a reverse scoop, facing the driver lol, not a big cowling scoop often seen on big V8's lol.
But it would have to be done very carefully I think, as it could easily turn out horrible, but i think it could have potential to look good and be totally different as well as functional.

Well I consider function and form imperative to anything I do.
Think of it as an enchancement/hybrid between the CS bonnet and Jonnos creation. Smooth and rounded, yet more agressive but still conform to the original design lines of the vehicle.

yeah thats pretty much indeed what I was talking about lol. Only it would take a bit of careful work to make it work on the 185, but I think it could work out well
