In addition, any extracted air would also surely cause a vortex just in front of the intake, thus reducing the actual efficiency of the intake scoop


Or have I got it all wrong?


(Still looks class though )

The bonnets a replica of the wrc car m8 which doesn't use the boonet scoop . You're probably spot on for a car not running a fmic . I was going to go for the later bonnet

The WRC car runs a front V mounted rad and IC setup.

The bonnet scoop although still there is actually blocked off.

those spoilers are a pig to clean and polish so can only imagine what they're like to paint. I had to take bits off my polisher to be able to do Tiny's at the weekend. They collect water nicely don't they!

but they do look the dogs danglies. i want to know what one would look like on a classic.

even the exhaust cut out is in the right place for a rally car, is it a trip to Hayward and Scott for a modified back box?

I've been playing around with the idea of getting my bike on the road, so the decision was to either tax, mot and insure the bike or tax the scoob.

After reading your updates - Scoob it is

I am seriously liking these wide-arch body kits



Edit......apologies for such a demeaning comment ..."body kits"...WTF..........body modifications I mean.

Just wondered.....has anyone done the cut away wings like in this one http://imagenes.topspeed.com/IMG/cro...ort_006_aw.jpg yet?? (In the UK I mean)

Not sure of the purpose, but I think it's maybe for aerodynamic reasons?

Dal, I've been playing around with the idea of a personal number plate, but won't be getting it for a while yet, could you modify my back bumper to accomodate a full size plate?

I've got more inportant things to pay off for first but was wondering if you would do it.
The Plate in question is P 500THN, so a jap plate won't have the same effect.

Also, are you still doing the Hawkeye style top spoilers?
