comments about flex are on the money for sure , i backed off at 100 the other day as it looked like it was about to blow into pieces ? 
but personally dont mind the look of em on new age cars just not classics ? here mine anyway , may be swapping with someone for oem soon hopefully

no flex in mine up to around the 150 mark. Mine isnt there for looks. The difference in charge temos fron the earlier smaller original scoop is pretty amazing. I've had this on 5 or so years no so cant remember exact figuire. But at the time of fitting i swapped between the two scoops and measures I/C temps and the later 2003 model scoop is far better.

I havent tested what its doing areodynamicaly (spelling) but i have measured and compared charge temps with both 2002 and the bigger 2003 scoop. certainly from my temp guage plumbed into the i/c temps are lower with the bigger one. More importantly when they get high from sitting still in traffic the temps cool much quicker with the bigger scoop once on the move

I've seen it a few times on here when people have removed the backing plate for instance off their classic bonnet vents and claim they have reduced the under bonnet temps but as they haven't tested it they don't realise they achieved precisely the opposite
