Looking at fitting a Ford XR8 Bulge on my VN but was wondering how hard it is to fit..
Wondering if anyone has done it? or knows how to do it, and if anyone has any pics,
Cheers

Don't do it. It would look like someone has poo'd on your bonnet

I kinda need to have some form of scoop or bulge on my car as i have a different intake and require the extra clearance,,

If you saw what he has now you would retract that statement....
Welcome to the internet where people have opinions that you might not like
best bet would be to buy 4 vn bonnets and weld them all together, huuuuge bulge.

As said he ain't doing it to be like the gazillion p plater homo's who think by putting a Group A bulge on it will be fully sick. He actually needs a solution as I don't think Queensland Transport like having piping and throttles out of the bonnet.

As Wraith said, i have no choice in the situation i have a new intake and it no longer fits under the stock bonnet i only need a little extra clearance and i don't wanna fit a group A like everyone else, but that's beside the point a group A scoop is to narrow and wont work anyway. the only scoop or bulge i could find that is not only high enough but wide enough is a xr8 bulge...

What do you have now? Most TB set-ups still fit comfortably under the bonnet?
Tried shutting the bonnet and ended up denting it. No way will it fit under a normal bonnet.

Whats it hitting on?
By how much?
The centre support?
Trim it away where it needs it?
Whats hitting on it, the cable bracket/mount?
Or the throttle bodies themselves?
LoL I was just going to say put some socks down there, but then I actually read the thread...
Its the second throttle at the front, and nearly the whole thing at the top pokes through the bonnet. I have cut a hole so it goes through so i can close the bonnet, and to keep the po po happy i got a cheap scoop from super cheap, an put it on but only as a temporary thing till i can get a better scoop/bulge for it.

That VN looks nice though.
Why not a Group A bonnet?
Group A is to narrow,,
