Scoop looks ok on the bug mate. Im not a fan of the big scoops on the classic. It looks crap...

The Bugeye doesn't suit the larger style soop imo. The Bugeye STI scoop is the way forward or standard as a 2nd choice.

I'd say yes. The big scoop looks sh*te on anything other than the car it was intended for. Looks even worse on a classic

Hate it !

BUT.... someone recently posted that they saw much lower inlet air temps using one.

I will allow it, but only under the function over form clause.

Big scoop look wrong on a classic but looks OK on the bug to me. Standard bug scoop a bit tiny and bigger scoop must suck more air in!

I would say change the Scoop but the bigger thing that jumps out at me is the wheels. They seem a bit skinny for the car???
