Default Do i dont i?

Do i keep this on or put the scoop back on? It stops the bonnet flexing which is what got me to try it. Im still not sure i like the scoop but i like to be different as well.

cracking looking car without a doubt but the scoop is just a little 'too different' for my taste!

I'm a bit undecided on this myself. First thoughts were 'Ugh!', but I can see where you'e coming from with the idea, would work in much the same way as an Evo vent, one presumes. Perhaps if it were a little less brutal in looks?

How about something similar to WRC cars, with the massive hole a few inches back from the leading edge to aid flow? Not sure if they're available for the classic, just thinking out loud.

that in conjunction with lowering the vent by half would look really cool. Cool as anyway btw

It's not offensive IMO and it's functional. I think I'm sold on it.

Could do with seeing it from the side (I seem to be constantly asking you to take more photos).

Keep the new one... as you say, it's different that the rest of the million scoobies out there... it's good to stray from the beaten track!

Looks like you left something on top of your hood. I'm a purist.
