Scott Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Looking for a UK spec bonnet or a bonnet with a UK scoop on it. Just looking to change my TRD hood to an almost stock look. Preferably in black but not too fussed about the colour as i'm planning a re-spray once everything is finished. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyhawk Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I have a silver J-spec one if you're interested? No scoop though I'm afraid. It's not 100%, there are a couple of minor dents and a few small scratches, but I don't want anything for it. It's currently at the bodyshop where my car's being painted and the sprayer said that he'd repair and paint it for £200 if that's of any use?

Scott Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 The TRD? I don't at the moment but they can be easily taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Bumping this up. Looking for either a swop for my TRD or to buy outright, up to seller. Again, black preferably. My TRD bonnet is aluminium as far as i can tell, i think its similar if not original. It doesn't have the deep cut outs like the copies does, it has thin cutouts (due to being metal) as the stock TRD does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 You still after a scooped UK bonnet mate or would you just wanna go J-spec stock? Or are you not looking to go that stock? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRA-JDB Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 hi mate im taking mine of my J-In N/A when the carbon arrives hopefully tomorro. it needs respraying but metal work is top notch. make me an offer as only in my way. . . . cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Looking for a UK spec with the scoop. I already have a j-spec bonnet as a spare. I could get a scoop and fit that but thats a bit much hassle. I'm open to anyone who has a modded J-Spec with a Scoop on it though. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Scott the OEM scoops are cheap as chips from Toyota (£135 incl rain tray underneath), and if you're only bothered about it being aesthetic (ie no rain guard underneath it's cheaper still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading through the forum and reading quotes of £180 for the kit. I would probably go with the rain guard as well though just to be on the safe side. I'm guessing the scoop would aim the water right at the coilpacks lol. Cheers mate, i'll give Mr.T a phone and see what they say. Do i just ask for the Bonnet Scoop assembly?

There is a list of the part no's you'll need on another Supra forum (I'll try & dig it out, I think it's the AUS forum). I can't put the rain guard on as it interferes with the TRD strut brace.

Scott Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Bump, going in for a spray at the end of the month. Thinking of a custom black so if i aint got it by then i guess it won't be going on it. Time to PM the breakers methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quez Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I have a standard UK bonnet in red (see pic) available, it's still on the car at the moment though and my replacement TRD is not painted so I'll only swap them over for the right price http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x155/quezxxxx/Photo037.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon i'm better to hold out for a bonnet though as i could probably get one for the same price or less than the kit costs. I've got a couple of weeks before it goes in for its spray so thats the deadline basically. I'm not really THAT bothered as my TRD bonnet looks great, i just don't like the water running through the mesh. UK is a preference but TRD will do nicely lol.
