wiley

wiley 21 August 2008 12:29 AM

new look :luvlove:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...o/DSC00006.jpg

i personally think the scoop sets the car off, the original was a bit on the small side....
let me know what you think
wiley

D.O.M 21 August 2008 12:33 AM

Looks like a decent job for 300notes, spliiter looks new :D
Scoop looks good from the front, but a bit wierd from the side imo.
Didn't you use any black mesh on the scoop? looks a bit wierd with such a big empty gaping hole.

wiley 21 August 2008 12:37 AM

thats how they supposed to be, will look stupid with mesh in hole....
wiley

COLZO 21 August 2008 01:08 AM

wiley 21 August 2008 11:28 AM

I reckon it would look better... would match with the mesh in the grille

wiley 21 August 2008 11:39 AM

too much mesh will look too chavvy, JDLTuning - Home - their scoob has no mesh

Not neccessarily... silver mesh maybe, but black no.

wiley 21 August 2008 11:45 AM

cos its dark inside the scoop you wont even notice even if there was mesh tbh

They're not live gauges. Just a fancy graphic equalizer

wiley 21 August 2008 11:49 AM

its a pioneer dvd player with ipod connected... just one of their graphics for the music
looks cool though right?

True. But at least the mesh will protect the engine from any unwanted crap with a scoop that big:lol:
It's amazing what gets inside my scoop.
Cleaning my engine a few weeks back, and a few bugs had been laid to rest on the intercooler:mad:
