What a great looking car. I love the bonnet scoop. Very nicely done I have been thinking of adding some sort of grill to mine but given that it is the factory bonnet scoop with a bar part way up I am not sure how to do it in a way that would look good.

What throttle bodies are you fitting? I got mine from Omex and following the instructions I had no problem fitting them.

Was it that obvious that HIS car (colour) looks a lot like my car (colour)? Ok, bias aside, I do like the contrast with the interior and the treads are very nice.

Steve at VSM did the bonnet scoop for me, he's a very nice guy and very good at what he does. I had him make it precisely because the bar across the middle on the factory version never seemed to make sense to me either, and I matched the piece of mesh to the grill mesh so it hopefully all ties in. Glad you like it.....

Throttle bodies are from AT power, as they're local'ish to me, and being fitted by Cain at Wolf; I've read your throttle body journey, you're way more brave and accomplished mechanically than I am and it was a very informative read. They're being built now; it was a 30 build, but now with Corvid, who knows......

Looks very nice. I like the wire mesh over the front!

A bloody beautiful 4/4!
Bonnet scoop looks very cool... well done! Did you and craft that yourself?
Likewise interested in your thoughts and experiences with the TB's... I am mulling that route when (if!) I can ever get back to the UK!

Thanks Pete757. The scoop was made and fitted by Steve at VSM, down in Malvern. It's based on the old TOK design as opposed to the supersport, but I also had the bar that braces it lowered to the bottom as I felt it looked better and could then place a piece of mesh inside. Will update the experience with the throttle bodies once fitted, I can't wait to feel the difference.....

That's some nice workmanship on the bonnet mods, I assume you had to completely re-spray that half ?
