Scoobyparts Bonnet Scoop

[Richie Cross]

Hi folks,

I'm looking at getting one of the larger high level bonnet scoops for my MY05 WRX (I think this is the STI 8?)

1) because I like them

2) looking at getting an STI intercooler

Scoobyparts seems to be the cheapest place (that I can find) for the scoop (unpainted).

Spoke to them and they said it's a direct bolt on job.

Any thoughts or other places to buy from?

Think I'd need to get a different part for under the scoop IIRC?

Cheers

You will need an Sti undertray or at least the rubber seal if you want to take advantage of the larger surface area of the sti intercooler.

I bought a full undertray with intercooler spray fittings for £75 (from GRD) but I know BobbyC managed to find just the rubber seal (from power supply). I had a bit of a job sourcing one.......

Try DR Motorsport . Prices were very competative the last time I looked. Plus they are alot closer to home.

I have one on mine, it isnt exactly a DIRECT bolt on as such, but isnt a major job either. The holes line up, but you have to use bolts rather than the original fixings. Not a problem though and i like mine!!

Another thumbs up for DR motorsport. I got mines for my wagon when i had it from David and i comes painted ready to fit.

I had a look at the DR website. I guess the difference between 150 and 95....I probably wouldn't be able to get it sprayed for less than 55......or could I???

Is the one from DR a direct fit? On their site it also says 2001-2002....will it still be ok for MY05?

Hi mate,

Just saw this.

We don't sell any bonnet scoops for the blob-eye models.

The scoop we do sell for the bug-eye won't fit your car.

Hi David,

Was planning to phone you today and ask. No need now!!!

I did see the 2001-2002 so was wondering.

I can't really tell if it's the same.

Need to try and source the undertray as well which isn't the easiest. Do I 'need' the water spray?

Cheers

Have you not got this done yet!? Order the one you fancy and bring it down to me to fit. If paintings an issue then 55 quid is way more than enough, pair of wing mirrors costs 35-40 quid so doubt it'll cost more!
