sideexitsupra Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Not being picky and admiring the effort you have put into this, but wouldn't it have been better behind the drivers side headlight? At least it would do something other than get your engine dirty? A victory for form over function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just fancied doing something more for aesthetics, and a bit different. I don't like huge bonnet vents, and louvres every where, I just wanted something subtle. I like the Do luck bonnet, but finding one is difficult - and I've heard horror stories about how bad the fit is if you actually get one. Each to their own I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A victory for form over function. but is the UK/Euro spec bonnet scoop not were it is on the front and centre of the bonnet to cool cylinders at they tend to heat up,surely this will be similar in a way and may actually have function over form?

Mk4Gaz Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Well, it's now painted, so I'll hopefully fit it tomorrow afternoon - I'm going to let it bake in the sun for a couple of days. The paint hasn't come out the best, it's going to need a good flat and polish, the amount of bits that's landed in it is annoying I filled the bottom of the scoop, but I think I would've preferred it as it was before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope the uk spec engine had a funnel that goes from the scoop to the turbos/manifold.... There's no funnel on a jspec engine therefore it is form over function. Not that I really care because it looks brilliant!!! Honestly now you got rid of the handle on the chisel it looks amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks for the good comments guys It's on, but still needs a good wet sand and polish, which I'll do in a couple of weeks when it's fully hardened. There's a couple of imperfections I missed during the prep, kicking myself now for rushing it. I'm like an impatient child when I get new bits!

listy Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 but is the UK/Euro spec bonnet scoop not were it is on the front and centre of the bonnet to cool cylinders at they tend to heat up,surely this will be similar in a way and may actually have function over form? Yes, but it is also ducted underneath and directed onto the 2nd turbo and to help cool the rear of the engine. So really, no it won't be similar in any way really. It looks good, and I like it. As for having it over the drivers headlight, I actually had that same idea, and almost went for it, using the same universal vent Gaz used. However, after offering it up, came to the same conclusion as GAz did. It would look absolutely tonk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
