Default Temporally running without the bonnet scoop - Spraying CF scoop body colour?

Hi all,

I'm wanting to have my carbon bonnet scoop sprayed the body colour and therefore i'll be scoopless for a week or so. As long as I keep boost low, should I be OK to drive?

I'm not fond of the CF look and the scoop was on the car when I bought it.

I did think of swapping with someone with a reddish blue scoop who wants a CF scoop. Things is, I like the scoop (its a little bigger than standard but not STI 9 size). See here (STI6 CF spoiler is now replaced with an STI5 colour coded):



Cheers all,

Wayne.

Yep, not fond of the old CF look. Just spoils the whole look of the car and really make it look just stuck on.

I would advise agaisnt it. Unless you don't run on any boost. There will be no airflow at all..
