Hi,
I have cut a hole in my bonnet - I now need a scoop to cover the inlet manifold any suggestions.
I also need an air filter suggestions also welcome.
thanks

Do you really want a scoop?

I would have thought a bulge would look much nicer...

Either way... you could make one yourself using insulation foam as a mold....

That way it would fit perfectly... much better IMHO than bolting on something generic

Wont take long to make a bulge from fibreglass


Edit to say... do you not have an airfilter/induction pipework to go on there too?

Beat one out of ally sheet. I don't think you'll get one off the shelf to fit that on the curve of the bonnet.

Or fit a different inlet manifold and air filter which won't stick up - then patch or replace the bonnet.

trim it up a bit neater and polish or paint the inlet.

display it , it may look better ?

Good call... Paint it black and do the letters in gold!

it's not finish yet but I've done that on mine. You will have to make it bigger to fit yours. I used a kitchen plate as a mould to make it. And then cut it in the good dimension.
