Bonnet scoop ideas

Recommended Posts

Recently got hold of a UK spec bonnet with a scoop on - needs some work so I am going to get it resprayed soon.

 

Been thinking about the scoop itself though and about what others may have done. I will probably end up spraying it black along with the rest of the bonnet - but interested to see what a carbon wrapped one looks like on a black bonnet (I probably wont like it though).

 

Would be interesting to see what other kind of experimental things people have done, such as painting it a different colour.

 

Anyone got any pics? :) Tried a search but theres millions of results when you put "carbon" and theyre usually for bonnets or dash etc.

Keep it all the same colour IMO :)

Flip on a Viper and flip on a Supra are different things, keep it simple :)

The scoop and two side vents does look really nice.

 

Could be something I go for, just need to check the bodyshop know what theyre doing and I dont end up with non symmetrical vents!

 

Are they following the same lines as a TRD bonnet or would that go through support structures?

 

The lip near windscreen could look good. I find the plastic part that it would partly conceal tends to go a bit white and have not found anything to take it back to black yet. Not keen on the bonnet pins though.

Dave (Supraloopy) on here cut them, and sprayed the car, he is the best man to ask on that mate :)

Interesting ones them - I need something that keeps the UK scoop though as thats to be the main feature of the bonnet, with any additional features done to enhance it.

 

I think I will be asking them what type of cutting they have done on other bonnets to gauge if they can pull something TRDish off or not.

 

Right off to bed! thanks the ideas chaps!
