    Default How to fit bonnet scoop?

    I've nearly finished painting my air scoop and now i need to know how to fit it?
    as well as the rear spoiler/wing? (not painted yet, but i will need to know)

    obviously measure and drill the holes and slot in, but is there anything i need to watch out for?
    any info would be appreciated

    Noooooo.... Don't do it, either of them..

    Not 100% sure, just keep an eye on where the ribs for the bonnet/boot are, and where the bolts should go.
    Maybe run a bead of sikaflex under it to help stop any vibrations?

    :P not a fan of the bonnet scoop and rear wing? im keeping it original, clean and tidy, just with group 3 styling.

    i was thinking soft rubber tubing split in half and run around the edge of the scoop maybe?

    lol, nah, just kidding mate

    Group3 replica will look nice, good idea with the rubber tubing, just something under it in between the fibreglass and metal to help stop the vibrations cracking it.

    u can get rubber rings for the wing and scoop that go around the whole thing, this should come standard when you buy both of them.
