Out of curiosity I took a closer look at the "Uk spec bonnet" today.

 

It's not.

 

Neither is the hoodscoop screwed or bolted down but held on with, I presume, super-glue.

 

I'll have to keep it on now probably, due to any paint discoloration (and not knowing what's holding it on!) but it's a bloody pointless air brake in my eyes, and I'm now worried it might fly off and cause someone damage if I'm travelling at speed.

 

Not a happy bunny.

Is there any additional bracing or owt under the UK spec bonnet? Can anyone take some pics of where the UK vent screws onto, please?

 

Or is is it just a case of chopping out a hole and drilling a couple of holes in the outer skin to secure the vent?

During days like today, I would prefer the UK scoop to have been a vent. Lots of ultra-hot air is trapped under that bay, my charge temps were 62C - 70C today, off boost (!!!), they would only drop below 70C if I were to take it full throttle for a few seconds, then it would stay down. How queer...
