Here's a selection of their comments : It must be nice to have a job where folks admire your work. hey dude i find what you do with pc's much more impresive but thats the way it goes if we could all do everything it would be a pretty boring place , got to say this was a challenge as i had to make up the brackets to hold the front of the scoop down and was sh***g meself incase i f****d up jakes bonnet , i know how the soundproofing will go , what you dont see is the grill and genuine 'gasket' that i made Jake buy , this finishes the job and makes it look factory finish , ive got to say that if i had a stock bonnet i would DEFFO be fitting the uk scoop , its got to be the only bit off a uk worth having dude :flame Dev :flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon F Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Dude I'd be more impressed if you could reverse the process - i.e cut the scoop off a UK car, fill in the massive hole, and smooth it over for a nice, aerodynamic, J-Spec shape. Oh, and lose the headlamp washers for no extra charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, that is probably a good reply/comeback but as I'm thick and don't have a clue what a f*cking 'EGR' is, it's lost on me (BTW, what's an EGR ?)

GavinL Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Originally posted by Bobbeh Still on your Jap injectors eh John? Better ABS on the UK spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 Originally posted by GavinL Better ABS on the UK spec Strange that they put the better system on the slower car isnt it , Bobbeh yeah ive got the (hides in shame) UK injectors but they make my car feel all lardy and comfortable so im gonna be changing them soon for some real man-size injectors. Ive got a feeling that a lot of people may be having this scoop fitted soon as it really does improve the look of the front end , it really seems to have transformed Jakes car , it doesnt even look russet brown anymore:D .

Steve Cargill Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Originally posted by dude Strange that they put the better system on the slower car isnt it But UK is heavier and isn't limited to 112MPH. Ive got a feeling that a lot of people may be having this scoop fitted soon as it really does improve the look of the front end , it really seems to have transformed Jakes car When the garage crashed mine I persuaded them to put a UK bonnet with scoop on as I think it really improves the looks. When I collected it there was the standard J spec one :-(((( How about a Ferrari 550 style scoop??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 Originally posted by Keith C Did the scoop not come with a grill? I repeat:) got to say this was a challenge as i had to make up the brackets to hold the front of the scoop down and was sh***g meself incase i f****d up jakes bonnet , i know how the soundproofing will go , what you dont see is the grill and genuine 'gasket' that i made Jake buy , this finishes the job and makes it look factory finish , ive got to say that if i had a stock bonnet i would DEFFO be fitting the uk scoop , its got to be the only bit off a uk worth having dude overall finished pic , ive found a wonderfull product Jake , its called WAX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Originally posted by dude When your finished with that you could then try 'dig your car out the tarmac drive ' Yeah, weighted down with host of added extras and properly engineered brakes and turbos. BTW, it won't sink into the drive because of the cleverly fitted 'anti sink' devices fitted to the front bumper which stop it doing this (otherwise known as headlight washers) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
