Can anyone recommend a company (or person) who makes and supplies the mini scoops that go over the battery and air filter,I would ideally like them to be painted before I get them aswell.I've seen the ones advertised in the scooby shop (not the carbon fibre ones-tooo expensive!)
But wanted anyones recommendations before I buy.
Its my birthday at the end of the month so the family and wife are giving me caaaaaaasssssshhhhhh, so obviously it has to go on the car.
Thankyou for your replies, cars a 1995 WRX.
Cheers Kev.

Got mine second hand and got MRO to spray it with my splitter.
Stuart Night does them and there are a couple of companies that advertise in Scoobyshop (click the link above)
You can also get carbon fibre ones that dont need painting.

Thanks Doc
I think Stuart Knight will get a phonecall very shortly.
If anyone else out there wants the fibre glass ones let me know and I might try to do a group order which might mean people can get both of the scoops (as I'm going to do) rather than the air filter side one, for less money.
Cheers Kevin.

"Are you trying to have a go at fundimental"

Oak, take a chill pill what are you on about,first of all I didn't know this person made them,and thats the whole point of my thread, for someone to recommend a company or person, I could go to!!! As your recommendation comes so strongly, I will contact him regarding a group buy.Could anyone else who's interested in buying both scoops let me know so I have an idea of numbers.
Thankyou everyone Kev.

Talking

Thankyou to the people who have sent me pictures of their scoops,I have contacted ETS and STUART KNIGHT off the scooby shop and explained that I was organising a group buy.Both e mailed me immediately back (THANKYOU).Both saying that the more orders I give them the price will come down.
I have e mails from people wanting either one or two scoops,so keep letting me know and towards the end of the week I will have to decide which company I contact???
Can people let me know if they want fibreglass or carbon fibre obviously carbon is more expensive.
cheers Kev
I will shortly post the prices I have been given by the two companies before the group buy.

Stuart knight
Fibreglass £60 each or £115 pair
carbon fibre £100 each or £195 pair

ETS
Fibreglass £40 each
carbon fibre £50 each
(only does the air filter side)

Prices are obviously different, I have no idea if this might reflect in quality of goods, I am not starting an arguement over it just showing the prices, people can make their own minds up.

Note how The ETS vent is made specifically to repel water away from electrics and the air filter e.t.c

kev, i don't think the price reflects on the quality as we can all see they are both good, like dan says the ets one has the under scoop on, i got some good pictures from him last week i'll put them on tomorrow of the silver one he does it has silver on the reverse scoop as well, so when you open your bonnet you see the finish underneath, the carbon one above looks very nice but i don't like the fact you can see right in it, it looks like a bit of mesh should be there, whereas on dans, his looks really stylish the gap is pretty much perfect, i would like to see stuarts GRP scoops on a car to compare, with the underneath shots as well, how much was mentioned with a group buy and what number of people is the minimum

Warwick hunt, ETS said if he has a few orders then he will sell the fibreglass ones for £35 each and the carbon fibre ones for about £45 each otherwise its not worth his while making them for little profit.(which I think is fair enough) as they are good value already!
I have asked him if he will make a scoop for the battery side if enough of us ask for one (includes myself) so I am waiting a reply.
Again to remind everyone these will not be painted as ETS said he can't guarantee paint match so doesn't want the grief!!!
Can I now have some orders as I would like to contact ETS towards the end of the week.
KEV WRX95 FIBREGLASS BOTH SIDES
BRYAN CARBON FIBRE AIR SCOOP/22B STYLE VENT BATTERY SIDE
CARE3 FIBREGLASS AIR SCOOP
Anymore?
