Uk Bonnet scoop

that's not too bad though

 

It includes everything, including the underside guide, so yeah it's not bad at all. If you plan on fitting a strut brace then I wouldn't bother with the underside guide, it just gets in the way.

 

The only part missing is the snorkel but you won't be able to fit that unless you have a UK heatshield anyway.

thats the air duct also that bolts onto the engine isnt it, also i didnt have the duct that bolts to the bonnet, all i had was the vent - grill - plastic fixings and thats really all you need for the look.

If you wanted the metal air ducts then your well over £170.

Yup, I wish I had gone down that route initially and not bothered with all the garnish, could have saved a few bob as I have ripped off most of it.

 

IMO all you need is the scoop, the grill and the 4 nuts. The foam gasket stuff is more hassle than it's worth, I just binned it.

Probably a stupid question but would I be ablest mount it with just the four drill holes without cutting a big hole in the bonnet as I want this for purely cosmetic reasons?

 

You could, but you would need to seal up the front of the scoop. I wouldn't fancy it's chances at high speed with a sealed bonnet.

The plastic fixings actually fit in the engine bay so you would need to cut a hole but its a simple fit.

How i did mine was drill the 4 holes from inside the bonnet out then drop the scoop bolt threads in the holes then with a black marker draw a line on the inside around where the plastic hits the bonnet.

Then remove the scoop cut round the pen with jigsaw or angle grinder and remove the square alloy bit, normally around 8" wide by 10" long.

Drop the scoop back on and fix with the 4 10m nuts.
