Default Sti hatch with de-vented bonnet?

Having sold my track car last year to help finish off a house extension I'm on the lookout for a car for the misses that's fun whilst still been practical

I've almost convinced the misses to upgrade her 308 for a sti hatch however she's still not keen on the looks of the scoop, is it possible to run a fmic and use the bonnet from a standard hatch?

I've had a look on google but can't find anything

I've done just that on my old classic and am doing the same on my bugeye project!

The works rally cars that were to replace the Hawkeye back in 2008 didn't run scoops!

Don't quote me but the RX hatchback doesn't have a bonnet vent due to being NA, possibly a straight swap? And as above running a FMIC is possible.

Just put our STI Hatch on the market if your interested. Check the for sale section

Yup, I'm pretty sure just a simple non-turbo bonnet will fit!
