Bonnet scoop

Guys I'm after a bonnet scoop, my engine fits under the bonnet but is tight and doesnt allow for a air filter, i dont want to cut a hole and leave the filters showing so i'm going to fit a scoop. I seen one of the carbon moods site (carbonmods scoop) buts too wide for me, I'm after something similar but about 400mm wide and 450mm long, dimensions have a bit of come and go in them.

Were have you guys bought your scoops from as i've seen some nice ones fitted to cars on here over the last few years.

I'm going up to my garage later today, I'll put a tape measure over it and get back to you.

I know at least one other person has used one, so they may beat me to it......

It's 490mm long but only 310mm wide, so maybe a bit narrow for your purposes?

Pretty much flat on the underside, there's some ribs under here that you may have to fettle slightly.

About 55mm at it's deepest point but as it's a teardrop shape considerably less toward the edges.

Fits with 6 small captured bolts on the underside. Fortunately mine didn't have 'Animal' plastered all over it...

HTH, Geoff.

Magic, i think it looks great, going to have a punt on it, as i said my dimensions are there or ther abouts so it should let me away.

Many thanks for all your help.
