Can anyone confirm that this will fit my 2008 hatch???
On their website it states 2011 onwards and the next page that has grilles etc for the 2008 model hatch doesn't have one for the bonnet scoop.
To me they look the same and I don't understand why they'd make one for the later years and not the 2008 onwards which makes me think it'll fit.
I'm going to buy a lower grille as well, I think that will tidy it up especially in black.
Do you think the front end looks better as it is with the fmic on show or would it look better with a black lower grille?
Cheers

The reason for wanting a grille for the bonnet scoop is the bits that ar usually to the inside of the scoop is gone, it looks more open than usual and allows stuff to get in more easily. I think the std bits fouled the fmic pipes and bov so it was removed.

Sounds like I'll need to doctor it regardless, if I buy mesh and cut it to shape I'd need to think of a way to fit it so might as well purchase the one that's already to shape.

it will fit
you just need to take all the padding from the bonnet then fit the grill .... easy to do.then pop the padding back in...
I have one on my hatch and looks neat tidy and finished

I think the padding stuff you're talking about is missing from mine, I think it was removed to make room for fmic pipes etc.

Counter argument is that positive pressure in the engine bay could reduce efficiency of FMIC.
As for aesthetic preference, you actually very rarely notice it there because it's so recessed.
I have mine purely to try to stop larger debris getting in there.
