Do you mean the mini scoop that replaces the offside bonnet vent?

or <shudder> the bonnet scoop from a mini cooper S?

if it's the latter - you're a sick, sick man...

Nice one, something to think about.

Simply leave the covers on underneath in the winter and take them off in the summer (dont forget to put them back on when you wash the car)

Kind of defeats the object really. But I can see the advantage in the summer.

Bloody hell, excellent response guys.

All look seriously good, especially the RB5's but I'm slightly biased there.

Cheers

Hello there Stuart.

I should have said that the scoops on my car came from Stuart, and damn fine they are/were (no longer have the car )

As for the lack of photoshop. Well, I do have it, but wanted the BB plate Great for GATSO's

As for rain. Well, I had both vent covers removed and never had a problem with rain getting in. I even used to jet wash the car and so some water would get in, never had a problem at all. I know a few others who have also done this with no problems either.

RB,
Sorry I don't paint them, but I do them in carbon so you don't have to! I'd rather leave the painting to the customer, then if there any problems with the spraying you can argue with your sprayer!

Otherwise, prices are on website, I do give discount to scoobynet plus memebers (prices in scoobynet shop)

Cheers

Stuart

Should have also said my scoop (skoop) was from Stuart Knight.

10/10 for delivery, price and quality.

RB5Caterham they do look better on RB5's don't they
