Bobbeh Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 no sorry mate i think theres a big difference between a maxed up saxo and a 10 second supe, are you implying dudes car is a shed (gets shovel out for Bobbeh to dig hole) 8 second supes dont need that crap all over the bonnet.

nuttynutz Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 personally i dont really like it (sowiee), but reading how dude using it to achieve a goal its ok, im sure it does look alot better in real. jasonmoola photoshop in black looks better than silver imo as qaisar says hides the lines. i remember in billing (silver, far end), someone had a wild and bold bonnet too on a veilside i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I'm reserving judgement until I've seen the finished article. But it's a 'work in progress', so I certainly wouldn't be as condemnatory and judgemental as some have been on this thread....I'll do that when it's finished Only joking The first pics looked a bit sketchy, but the last picture looks ok to me, so I'm keen to see it finished. I've got to pop down and see Dude soon, so I'll take more of a peek then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Been looking at the pics again, is it too late to move the scoop forward a little ? Just looks a bit too far back for me. Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Dont need a rear spoiler either but you got one !!!! Dude Not if you're going in a straight line.. it is useful for cornering Besides the rear spoiler doesnt look total shite John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelG Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Not my cup of tea, but each to their own.......looks a bit too "stick on" The punched in vents look great, but the scoop in the middle just looks like its been bonded on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Yes they have to remove all the paint around the louvres otherwise it splits .

Besides i have this hole to cover !!!!! Dude :flame Dev The idea of Toyotas hood scoop (as you know) was so people in Europe could go cruising down the autobahns flat out without the engine overheating... not for 10 sec blasts at a time. You do what you want m8, its your car You just requested opinions and I gave you mine. Did terry influence you with the bonnet fins? I remember his Purple one had those all over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Have you wrapped your manifold and downpipes? This helped me LOADS with my kit. Not exactly the same thing...but it's gotta be a plus. Perhaps a bigger radiator is in order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
