What cosmetics you thinking, and what perfromance mods you done so far?
Was only thinking today how smooth the acceleration is now, and its either the G Valve internals and uprated spring, or the vents.
Probly a combination of both :-)

nice was thinking about vents but would have to un wrap the bonnet , and the exchange rate from zar to £ is so crappy takes me a while to save up. almost nothing is available locally apart from custom made stuff

Chris, saw this on Facebook, and I think it looks pretty good.

M*** Cooper S bonnet scoop?

[Chris_Blue]

Yes, think that is the M+++ scoop. looks similar. Thing is they wouldnt have been able to fit to an OEM bonnet without a lot of welding work, cos its all double skinned round that area

You can have a fibreglass bonnet made up, but they have to make a template first, then create a mould etc etc. Was quoted between £6-800 just to make a fibreglass bonnet

As thats an air intake, wonder if they added any "Out" vents?

It certainly has more than a passing resemblance to the BMW MINI gen 2 bonnet scoop, that said, it was just for cosmetics on the BMW MINI gen 2 it offered no benefit either for intake of the air stream, or indeed as any cooling aid, for under bonnet temperatures, and sadly it will offer nothing on the above installation, for either intake or as a cooling vent.
