We're moving soon so I thought it was time to finally get on and finish the spare bonnet so I can fit it and throw away the old one.
Almost ready for painting (i'll be doing that).


Passenger side duct will be feeding an enclosed airbox (when I've made it) but not blowing directly on the filter, i'll also be having an option to easily cap it from the underside of the bonnet if I need to (torrential rain/snow/hail). I've got some mesh to go over them too.
Drivers side will be directing air onto the charge cooler and supercharger just for a little extra cooling, yeah engine bay may get dirty so i'll have to re-evaluate that but you can't win em all.
So hopefully a practical use but really I wanted it to look a bit more aggressive too.

Form and function! I'm thinking about some manner of vented bonnet to help get that turbo heat out lol. But don't want it to look too obnoxious.

Lookin good!

You could try raising the centre part of the bonnet at the rear a little higher and cutting that section of it shorter. That particular area around the windscreen/cowl experiences a reverse direction of airflow. Which is pretty much the theory of reverse bonnet scoops.

Thanks mate, I've got the rear of the bonnet raised anyway but might have a look and make sure air can get out there and if not take your suggestion and make it so.
