Talking about the SCOOP....

See it now AS A FACTORY FIT on loads of cars...... seems that they all want a bit of the scooby-magic??


A little pop-quiz for you:

What other manufacturers/ models use a bonnet scoop (as standard fit, not boy-racer add-on)

Katana 17 March 2002 12:31 AM

Isuzu Trooper mate. But they've had it on for ages since one of my dad's older one has one.

Steve Williams 17 March 2002 12:33 AM

Keep seing those Kia Sedona people carriers :(

Almost wave as well ;) :D

Mad max films! those cars had them!

BOB.T 17 March 2002 01:35 AM

There's a mondingo near me, absolutely bog standard... bar for the Scooby scoop:rolleyes:

I'm not into wrecking other folks stuff but I'm soooo tempted to rip it off[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Bob

hey, I don't even have a scoob and it bugs me:D:D

WREXY 17 March 2002 01:42 AM

Lots of Aussie performance cars mainly V8's had them long before the scoobs as standard fitment from the seventies and eighties.

Great taste bloke, what's up with Scoobycity tonight? Can't get in. I sent you an e mail too but maybe it's not working cos the site is down.

Cheers,

Wrexy.

Pontiac Trans-Am, Chevy Corvette, Mustang. In fact, most muscle cars have them.

Huxley 17 March 2002 09:48 AM

My Renault 5 Alpine Gordini Turbo had a factory fitted scoop fitted to it.

Though it was only for heater to get more cool air in the car!

With the rally type cars I think the GT4 or GTIR had them way before the Subaru.Don't see too many of either though(thankfully)on other cars,probably because of the extra work needed to blend them in and they're not as popular as the Impreza.

Craig Mac 17 March 2002 11:41 AM

Some Suzuki Vitaras have them............

SJobson 17 March 2002 01:31 PM

Toyota Rav4 diesel too.

Scoob99 17 March 2002 06:43 PM

Nissan Pulsar GTIR

Lunchie 18 March 2002 11:48 AM

The real question is, which of them have functioning scoops...


I had a Mustang while living in the US and the air intake on the bonnet and ahead of the rear wheels were fakes.

catflap 18 March 2002 12:06 PM

nissan bluebird had a wee scoop long before a scoob

akshay67 18 March 2002 12:23 PM

The Rover MG (ZS?) has nicked the WR spoiler

RichB 18 March 2002 01:28 PM

Renault 19 16v - not quite as big. It's no scoob but I did love that car...

mutant_matt 18 March 2002 02:01 PM

Well I saw a Black Ford KA in Kent yesterday with an EVO 6 bonnet grill on it... :D:D:D:D:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Matt ;)

MATTeL 18 March 2002 02:05 PM

If Alex doesn't get rid of his STi scoop do you thik we will see one on his new car soon!;):D

(So much trouble)

I have heard of a Micra with a scoop, seen a Nova with a scoop and an Escort with an EVO VI bonnet. Just really worrying! ;)

juan 18 March 2002 02:26 PM

second the post about many Yank muscle cars having them since the 50/60s and into the 70s. Guess they nicked the idea off Subaru ;-)

CrisPDuk 18 March 2002 05:01 PM

There's a Nova going around near where I work with a full complement of Impreza bonnet scoops, AND the front bumper from an Evo V/VI with a great chunk roughly cut out of the middle to make it narrow enough to fit.

JackClark 19 March 2002 08:42 AM

Hyundai hyjacked the whole car - old shape - shrunk it and named it Accent. Long live the Bugeye :D

MATTeL 19 March 2002 08:46 AM

I saw a blue polo this morning with a scoop on the bonnet and lip spoiler!:rolleyes:

Dark blue car the front of the scoop where we have a rather obvious hole his was filled in and painted light blue!:eek:

Mac's Power 19 March 2002 09:10 AM

Are these not standard fit on Micra's and nova's ??? ;)

Seriously though I htink the Mazda 323 has a half a scoop?

Funniest I've seen is an MR2 with one in the front bonnet. Hope it wets his golf clubs.......

wheelwright 19 March 2002 09:55 AM

Seen an ashtray with an evo 6 bonnet vent on it !!! ;)

turboren 25 March 2002 05:44 PM
