Dnk Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I dont suppose anyone has photos of a Bonnet with TRD vents and the UK scoop on the same bonnet, or could accurately photoshop a uk scoop onto this photo. Or if anyone with a TRD bonnet could measure these dimensions for me i'd be greatfull My car was damaged by some nice person last weekend and as usual cctv is no use and the driver didn't leave their details just a nasty gouge in the bonnet Edited October 15, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kniff_666 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 how the hell did that happen? More to the point what did it to hit the bonnet there? (van / reversing lorry) gutted for you m8. I had a not too dissimilar thing happen to me (only the front wing tho). Good luck getting it sorted and you can only hope that Karma will come back around to the people that do these things.

Dnk Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) The prime suspect is a Ford transit with a tipper body, i've spent a week trying to track down the vehicle but got zero help from the police. The story is quite involved but i shan't say anything on here other than a big thank you to the police for doing bugger all Edited October 15, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to see this mate, hope it gets sorted ASAP Yes pretty poor at best. I'll get it sorted just not sure which way to go, the wing and bumper is mainly paint but do i fit a j spec bonnet and not have a scoop, or cut the j spec and fit the scoop or modify my damaged bonnet Edited October 15, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The TRD bonnet design is flawed IMO, water gets to all the places in the engine bay you dont want it to get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The TRD bonnet design is flawed IMO, water gets to all the places in the engine bay you dont want it to get! Yeah it gets on the pulleys, the battary, air filter and alternator as i said before if its kept outside its worth considering undertrays, which make the vents kinda pointless imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
