What style reverse scoops do you have, what are available, which do you think is the best?

Im trying to get an idea what the popular ones are so we can make some

 

You can use my car as a guinea pig if you like.
I have a 97 gc8 with the facelift bonnet which covers the gc8 range from 97-2000.

I personally like the ones that are multi slatted, slightly aerofoil profiled blades, would prefer a mesh under-piece.
Needs to be light, cheap (as there are loads on ebay ranging from £85 to £140) and fill the standard aperture EXACTLY.

 

What Andy ^ said.

This is the only type that looks good on a classic!





Borrowed the images from a FS thread on 22B.

 

I personally think the RCM reverse vent is the nicest fitted. But its 2 expensive for all it is... Just replicate theirs and sell it on half price win win

 

Here's mine.

 

My Blobeye RCM one

 

I would be really interested in these, especially with the two side vents aswell.

I want something that looks aggressive and angular like the headlights for the classic. And possibly with quite big gaps to show off the reversed manifold etc!

Although what I do find with the standard ones is it just let's rain in to sit on the engine and makes the screws rusty etc!

 

To replicate any vent/scoop all we need is something to mould from. We may be able to do these in carbon too if the vents arent too small

 

I would want your scoop to be the size of the moulded bit in the bonnet, plus 10mm all round as a "picture frame".
that way you wouldnd't see the the gap between the bonnet and the scoop that you do with standard stuff and other manufacturer's kit.
