Show us your scoops!

Hi, the filters on my car are currently sticking through the bonnet (using the original velocity stacks) However I would now like to fit some shorter stacks and lower filters so that I can fit a bonnet (bulge/scoop). If you have any pictures of your bonnet scoops I would be very grateful to see them so I can decide with route to go down !
Cheers
Shaw

I like the scoop but it was a very unreasonable £80...which i think is very expensive...but i had no choice as my engine sticks through bonnet!

You're gonna need more than those subtle scoops if you want to get those filters under, they must stick out 5 or 6 inches .....

As I said above, I’m going to fit shorter velocity stacks and lower filters.

Instead of shortening the intakes, how about doing a black mesh bump over them as per the donkervorts

I market a few different scoops, the one pictured is actually for a 427 Cobra but looks nice on a Locost (couldn't find a pic of one installed). Rescued attachment DSCF0230.JPG

The WWW button at the bottom of his posting might be a clue...

Bit far to post, though...

Look up Pilgrim Sumo. They have them as an option on their Cobra packages.

I would like to know how much you can pick up a Cobra scoop in the UK so I can compare to what I offer and shipping (the exchange is def. in you favor). Are you looking for one in carbon or glass?

jamestziros, I could get you a glass Cobra scoop with postal delivery for $80.00 US. E-mail me if you are interested, also I would be interested to see what the same goes for there.
