Has anyone done this mod was thinking of putting a reverse bonnet scoop on the car 

[CraigB]

Not something I'd do unless it was going to be ported to the intake or if needing extra air for a intercooler though they can look smart on some cars to give the Subaru WRX look but it's rather pointless if it's not a working scoop

[jesam]

Yeh i totally agree with what you are saying but to me this car just needs something on the bonnet to give it a more grrrrrrrrr look and yes the one i got my eye on is the subaru scoop

[Just Rick]

If I did one it would be like this or very similar,many moons ago we had a very talented chap in Adelaide who would do custom venting, either convex or concave,not one single bit of bondo all done with what metal your had on your bonnet,Heat and his self made Metal shaping tools.

Once you go that sort of scale the fabrication would be very expensive I think it would be cheaper to buy pre-made in carbon fibre or cheaper still in fibreglass and you get the weight reduction benefit as well.

[jesam]

Yeh that is smart real carbon fibre the only way as far as i am concerned.  forget that stick on shit but will my bonnet dampers work with this not to sure

The one I pictured Craig was a carbon fibre one, forgot the name of the company now who makes them.

[CraigB]

Yeah I noticed that it was C/F

Not sure if we still have the restrictions on carbon fibre bonnets here, they were illegal at one stage because of the damage they can cause in an accident.

I dont know the laws but I would wager fighting with at best insurance company if you were to hit a pedestrian. If they were seriously injured or killed (heaven forbid) just imagine.
I'm not against it and have future plans for functional openings on both Jeep and Accent. It just came up.

Having a more grrrrrrrrr look, won't give you more grrrrrrrrr, though. That would annoy me.

[Dazzler]

I wouldn't mind that look on my Cammode! Is that Bogan??? 

[CraigB]

This would look better popping out your bonnet Dazz

What Ya trying to do kill the poor bloke  ,he can hardly see over the dash now  ,how the hell is he going to see past that in his up market Commy 

[CraigB]

Remember the movie Running On Empty? no need to see where you're going...just have to listen to that sweet sweet sound

[jesam]

Its just the start  engine work to be done soon but have to do my homework before i commit to spending loads of cash on things that really dont work and i think i will go for the RS  carbon fibre bonnet
