Hi all, I am looking for a reverse bonnet scoop to fit a hawkeye but I am struggling to find anyone that dose them. I would like the slatted look one if possible.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction please!!!

Cheers Rudie I'm after a fiberglass one ideally but would consider carbon fibre.

Why do you want one? They are OK for time attack cars etc, but for road cars, not so good.

How do you know that I haven't got a Time Attack car firstly and secondly can I ask why they aren't so good for road cars???

I assumed.......most people drive road cars.

The late, great Harvey Smith ran a lot of investigations into underbonnet temperatures, when using an FMIC. He did the research with quite a few different reverse scoops, grilles etc, and on NOT ONE did he get a lower ubt than using the standard forward facing scoop. Some, in fact, ran higher

Harvey put it down to the downflow of air over the gearbox from a standard scoop, which cools the gearbox and helps to suck cooler air in through the FMIC and rad.

Sadly he died before completing the project, but his advice was always, "Stick with what you have for a road car..."

Hi got one from Litchfield, great fit and quality, quite heavy made from fiberglass with outer skin of carbon. Think ABW can make one as well
