yuk

may as well make the entire bonnet a scoop

why try, unsuccessfully, to make an older car look like a late model?

You would be better putting a VL Walkinshaw bonnet scoop on.

That is not easy on my eyes.

99% of VL ownder's on this website will most likely say the best bonnet scoop for a VL is none. I use these car's as an example:







However if you are after a bonnet scoop, here are some as an example. I remember seeing an XR8 one a while ago and there was a yellow VL V8 getting around with the big reverse cowl scoop. Here is a white one:

Air Filter out the bonnet:

I can't say I like any bonnet scoop's except on Walky's.
