VN Group A Bonnet Scoop

[porscheboxster]

I'm contemplating putting a VN Group A Bonnet Scoop on my VN Clubbie. I've got a SV5000 front and rear bar and Senator sideskirts. What do u guys think, do it or not??

[hakhawk]

personally, id get matching sideskirts first, the clubby ones look totally wrong with the rest of the kit, and get a new grille, then buy a bonnet scoop

[porscheboxster]

i personnally like the senator skirt and think they go perfectly well with the SV5000 kit

[[JUDGE]]

go for it buddy thats what i reckon if its what u want then get it, im lookng into gettin one myself, $140 for group A, or $300 for monaro vents.

Being a HSV, and a fairly rare one at that, I would stick with the orginal body kit. The orginal idea behind the ClubSport, hence the name, was to make it a lightweight sporting car with decent power and good handling.
Also why would you get one? Unless you have one of the Group A TTB manifold's why bother?

I know i thought hard about keeping the original VN SS kit, but i just wanted something different. When i bought this car it was repossesed & gutted without the original SV interior as well as the dash badge. I didn't really want the standard VN SS kit so thought that a mix would be better hence what u see here.

Look into getting the full clusport kit that was available as an option.

[porscheboxster]

Why get it u ask? Just like the look of it even though it doesn't serve a purpose

The original SV Clubsport kit was a VN SS Kit:



Personally i'm not fond of this kit and just wanted something different, even though it aint the right kit

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but unknown to most people is that you could option it with another kit.

I'm looking for a VN SSV kit for my car all i have is 1 side skirt. YAY. i like the front and rear bar but the side skirt i have is different to that more aero dynamic.

[greenfoam]

I think it would be sexy if you had the whole sv5000 kit since that's the best looking VN

[badger__rox]

ahh man what is it with ppl n fibreglass they love it.. personally i dont like fibreglass.. i never seem to like any after market body kits..
its nasty to paint to

[porscheboxster]

Come on guys enough with the wrong sideskirts, cause thats the way i like it

Should i or shouldn't i put the Group A bonnet scoop?

[hakhawk]

if YOU want the grp a scoop, put it on. if you keep asking here, most people are either going to say no, or the same thing as me, "its your car, your choice". you will never get a definate answer, buy one, paint it and sit it on the bonnet. see if you like how it looks, if you dont like it, sell it.

[YMY-88U]

like hakhawk said it is your car so it is your choice.. personally i dont think it will suit it but you never know.... and also maybe buy a chrome exhaust tip, that will look better then the scoop

[[JUDGE]]

i dont see why it wouldnt look good, in my eyes a group A bonnet scoop is a hell of alot better then a stock bonnet.

But unless you need it for clearance of a manifold it serves no point except added weight and wank factor............I would go so far as to call it rice.

Mags - By going to a larger size you increase the contact area on the road, making for a better handling ride.
Tint - Decreases the amount of UV rays entering the car which makes the interior cabin cooler, cuts glare and fading of interior fabrics and plastics.

weren't mags = magnesium wheels originally developed to be lighter than standard wheels? i.e:- save weight on race cars?

although these days, some manufacturers have strayed from the path, with most big wheels actually increasing rotating mass quite considerably.
