Looks sweet!

Are you gonna put the Turbo decals on it?

I like Maestros in black... they look ace, pity its a hard colour to clean!

You have ruined it with that completely pointless bonnet scoop

Glad someone else picked up on that. It's a bit cringeworthy tbh.

Its needed for 2 reasons

1. To clear the top of the carbs
2. To help cool them as there is no carb fans fitted

There was stacks of room in the engine bay to feed cooling pipes to the carbs if absolutely necessary, couldnt you have just welded a bulge into the bonnet?

Anyway - those tyres - are they Yoko Parada S2's?

 

[Simon]

Vent would have done the same job then?

I really really dislike scooby bonnet scoops on anything other than a scooby. They also do a nice job of slowing you down due to drag, I do see you point about keeping carb cool, but I would have gone for a vent myself, removing the bonnet seal at the back would have probably sorted the airflow through the engine.

what are the LandRover lights for on the dash?

The scoop seems a sensible way of doing it, killing two birds with one stone as it were as it saves faffing about with loads of ducting. The only problem I can see is once you stop you might have trouble with heat build up as there is no air flow?

How long before it hits the track? I wanna see some incar vids

Bloody hell, enough fuss over a bonnet scoop? I worry about you lot sometimes.

Looks very shiny, how much was the sprayjob?
