Mate, your car is insane, love it! Colour is mean and the wheels suit it well.

That scoop has me salivating, care to show some under bonnet pics of how it's plumbed into your intake? I presume it is as you said it's functional?

hmm, thats not a bad idea actually. the only issue i have with the shields is that theyre so big.

and in regards to the scoop, it currently does not connect into the intake box in any way. i just meant the scoop is vented, and has an opening through the bonnet. another option i have is to install a pod, which would take advantage of the cooler air entering the engine bay. it may just be my imagination but the engine temp is a tad bit cooler..
Once i get some more engine work done, im planning to get a custom intake designed that hooks up to the scoop, it will be tricky though. all in good time
one thing i forgot to mention is i got the car chipped a few months back. i have also ordered a cam from the guys at Wade Cams (great service), will have to get that put in and re-tuned soon.
