Default Bonnet Vent Scoop

Hi all

Quick question

I fitted a small scoop to the drivers side bonnet vent to aid a little cold air intake, but was wandering about rain water getting in there?

When i removed the standard vent, there was an undertray which i removed - do you think its best to put the undertray thing back on to prevent rain getting in?

Cheers

well it has a Blitz Sus cone on there, which isnt directly under the scoop, its set back a bit.
Probably will put the undertray thing back on as a safety measure.

My guess is that youd need to drive through a lake to get water sucked in there - but still better safe than sorry lol

Its a carbon scoop and i quite like the way it looks can always flog it if i change me mind

yer man that looks awesome!

Have you seen the Ht Autos High Scoop? Gonna get one next month me think I want to keep the FMIC and want a larger scoop I think they look great, not a fan of newage scoops on a classic, and so i recon this is the best out of the bunch.
