    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??

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
