Bugeye WRX bonnet, bugeye STi scoop. Straight fit?
Bit of an oversight on my part here I think... I've got an 02 WRX and have just recieved what I believe to be an STi scoop to fit.
Straight away I realised that the STi scoop is quite a lot larger than the hole in the bonnet so isn't going to go on. I can accept my n00bishnes at this point... however am sure I'm seen posts both here and on other forums of people fitting STi scoops and undertrays (as well as version 8 scoops) to bugeye WRXs.
Is there more than one version of the WRX bonnet?
I did read that STi bonnets are aluminium, but due to how light it is and after testing with a magnet, I'm going to say that my WRX bonnet is aluminium as well. Was there a steel bonnet with a different version of the WRX scoop/larger opening?
Thanks.
