Aye, got plenty of em round MK, saw a black Corsa, looked okay from the back and then as I walked around to go into PC World I saw the abomination, what looked like a genuine-ish STi 8 scoop on the front.

To make matters worse, he had one of those fake electronic dump valves.. single mono tone whoosh sound gives it away... idiot.

Subaru didn't invent bonnet scoops you know. If someone wants to put one on their car I don't see any harm in it - live and let live.

A lot of these you see on Corsas etc... are just stick on ones - theres no actual hole into the engine bay in the bonnet.

Probably the same reason why people buy a Peugeot 206 1.4, then proceed to clue a GTI bodykit on, then shoehorn a 206 GTI engine in. Their idiots !!! Just buy the GTI in the first place.

Not really a scooby scoop on a corsa is like big breasts on a man! Its harmful to my tender narrow mind.

Lets face it though these boys and girls i hope are all young and in time when insurance and alike is good, then they will progress to the real thing and until then they are playing around witch only makes it better for subaru sellers of modded kit etc...let live and practice i`ve been thier, as such and i`m sure others have too.
