    Cool Project VX Walkinshaw

    Hi people,

    First of all i have 2 questions for everyone!

    1. Has anyone seen a VT/VX Commodore with a VL Walkinshaw Bonnet Scoop??????


    2. What do you think a VL Walkinshaw scoop would look good on VX????

    (i have a dodgee photo shop image of a VX clubbie with VL walky scoop will upload thursday).

    Cheers
    All feedback appreciated

    They look bad on the VL's, they look bad on the VE's so i'd expect they'd look crap on a VX. Personally, I'd steer clear.

    Minux has spoken... *strikes table with gavel..." lol

    But yeah I agree that It don't look great on a VX...

    The VX is a very flowy and visually delicate shape... the VL Walky bonnet bugdge is very aggressive and I don't think it would blend in well...

    Plus i personally think that early model parts on late model cars looks abit... weird...

    Like putting rims Off a VS clubby on a VX clubby for example...

    ^^^ What do you mean who cares what people think... thats the subject of this thread... he asked for other peoples opinion on the idea... so i guess you could say he cares what people think.

    Can't make a judgement on that photoshop image...

    I don't think it would look good but it could be one of those things everyone says will look cr@p until **************** decides to features it!!

    Either way... good luck with it...

    looks interesting, tho i think it may look different in reality.

    worth a look at a ve walky scoop tho to see what it looks like.

    personaly i think it doesnt look the best, i think u would be better off sticking to a monaro one, or somthing like that.

    Photoshop doesn't give a real good view as it's not 3D and show how high the scoop sits. It doesn't look too bad though.

    Photoshop looks good

    That actually doesn't look that bad in that pic. But that looks nothing like a stock VX. Would look like shit on a VX with standard bars no skirts etc. Ive seen a walky scoop on a VN before... Looked like shit.

    Looks to squarish on the VX, it's a roundish body, with a squarish bonnet scoop.......go the BA bonnet bulge, they look nutz on the VT's and up.
