jevansio Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Can anyone tell me if a TRD strut brace fits with a full UK bonnet scoop ?, wasted my money before with non stock bonnets and strut braces You can have the outer scoop, but the inner metal air deflector will either be cut or removed (I removed mine totally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Nice to see this progressing. Surj, it has become a bit of a wallet buster, Dave is being a legend and keeping the costs down but its all my fault, I have gone to town a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well I have been putting some proper hours into deans car to keep costs down so I don't stray into days that are planned for other work. As said before Deans car has tuned into a project. This is just because it would spoil the car if not at least made clean allround (my fault). There were alot of silly bits that let the car down IMO so I have sort of done alot of these for very little cost just to make it better. I just wish I was not going on holiday so I could finish it ready for Jap fest. Dave:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I lack such skills, thats why I asked Dave to do it , its not as expensive as a carbon bonnet all in and keeps the stock fitment which of course is spot on, not something an after market bonnet has in its favour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
