ton246 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Not sure about these,might grow on me or maybees not, what do you think? No scoops 1 scoop 2 scoops
colin_ross Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 You still running a maf? Looks like those may scoop in rain as well as air and short it out of you do.

seafar99 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Original bonnet scoops for me and i would have the original headlights also as there looks to be a bit of a miss-match between the centre-grill and bonnet alignment with those headlights.

Could we just stick to the bonnet scoops as we have already had the discussion on the headlights !! We all know they are meant for the facelift model......but hey ho they are staying.
frank c Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I took advice with something similar when i had my last scoob and decided against it . Same issues as Colin has mentioned..Rain getting to the Maf and air coming in where not needed.. For better air flow ..you thought about a slightly bigger bonnet scoop to the I/c ?
scouk Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Prefer the standard vents TBH.. And if you thinking of performance, they will just add drag, disturb the airflow over the car and act as bonnet lifters.. Can't really see the point myself.. All IMHO... Edited May 23, 2008 by ScoUK

scientific steve Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I only used my one on the drivers side when I was on track due to the amount of stick it was getting I thought the more air in the better on normal road use I wouldnt bother but it's up to you, if you like it then go for it
j10 dly Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 As been said before mate, the original vents look better, imo. Are the new scoops Carbon Fibre, if not they may look better colour coded silver to match your car. End of the day though, its your car so if your happy then great
p1ggm Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 prefer standard ones, the new ones just remind me of all the old school boy racers that stuck the teardrop escort cosworth vents on there 1.1 fiestas lights are growning on me thou
phil_g Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I used to have the mini bonnet scoops, removed them after 1 rain shower. The air cone was wet through and the maf was fecked, I ended up buying a new air cone & maf.
kaylz_555 Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I'd have to say standard too mate, although I see they are already for sale, they look too bulky for the smooth lines!
