haha was woundering wen sum1 wud say that about the scoop, well basicaly im on a budget and im going for no spoiler look and reverse the scoop so ive just turned the scoop around with a bit a cutting to the bonnet, personaly im not sure about the look but i want sumet different and it might grow on me, but alson got another original bonnet and boot with my spoiler on it so can have two different looks by just changing them over.
