Here's mine
Bennen industries bought from a member on here but there was a big issue as to wether they were genuine. The quality is OK but the anodised finish has faded. I sourced my own high tensile bolts as I didn't trust the ones supplied.
To be honest they do look good & weren't too pricey, someone else is selling some now but a different make, but they look fairly similar.

Isn't the front one an instant mot failure, due to the height?

The scoop is like marmite, love it or hate it. Only 3 were imported from Japan in the late 90s, they were used on rally cars there. As for how legal the front hook is I'm not sure but it passed the MOT & it's been on over a year & Iv not been pulled for it yet. However if I remove the fog lamp cover I can get to the bolts to take it off if it becomes an issue, but Iv seen other Scoobies with one in the same place.

I use a fabric one on the back and tuck it up behind the bumper so it doesn’t look s***! With Tommy on the front one.

If you fit an FMIC your OEM tow hook is useless as the front panel is removed and that has the thread for the tow hook?

That's the best one Iv seen, but you need a tennis ball on it rather than that ugly plastic cover.

If tow hooks stick out too far, the police can fine you for it, known it happen. They look tacky aswell IMO, straps are better.
