Bonnet scoop
antwan - 1/3/11 at 12:48 PM

Hi all,
I have just purchased a bonnet scoop from Chris for my vortex. Not strictly needed but I like the look.

Can anyone post a photo of your installation so I can see how to fix. He did mention somthin...flex adhesive but do you just place the scoop on the top of the bonnet, is it really that sticky??

Any pics and top tips, I would appreciate it.

flex adhesive? was it maybe sikaflex? in which case, yes, once its on, it won't come off

Thats what i thought, but mine looks a little loose and the cars only done 30 miles - just added a bit of silicone in the places i can reach and are invisible

ensure the area you apply the silkaflex to is keyed for better adhesion

take a look in my blog. although a different scoop, the same theory applies. i would cut the bonnet and bond from underside. if your scoop has no lip around the outre edge i would fit one!
