The varnish on my bonnet scoop is coming away in large chunks, particularly when it rains because the water can get underneath it. This is on a red 99MY and it's starting to look extremely tatty. Anybody else experienced this at all? Is it repairable or is it easier to get a replacement scoop?

 

sounds like its been resprayed in the past and not keyed

it will need repainted

 

My mate's did this on the bonnet - not been painted before, just cr@p painting from the factory.

He had to get the whole thing stripped and repainted, luckily for you the scoop won;t be so much work!!

 

My scoop and the grills have done this (also red ... UK 98)

I had a guy respray the scoop (took it off and drove around without it for a week). Great job, 80 quid !

I'll be getting some 22B style grills from dr motorsport to replace the current ones..

Thanks guys. I've owned it since new so it must be a dodgy factory job. £80 doesn't sound too bad though.
