It came primed, So after a few coats of halfrawds mixed O2C blue and a couple of coats of lacquer a good flatten down and then cut with some compound the result was half decent and will do for now.. this was a lengthy process as it would not fit in the oven!!
.. A hair dryer sufficed
And fitted... Colour match is pretty decent.. though hard to tell in these photos..
Took the car for a quick blast and the results where very encouraging, water temps stayed low and I noted a drop of about 3 to 4 degrees in intake temps which I was not expecting.. :O
I also noted a 4 to 5 degree increase of temps directly above the turbo (to be expected as no massive scoop ramming air over it) but perfectly acceptable.
This is function over form!! the scoop is not going anywhere! (The Handbrake will make sure of that!
) but for trackdays were temps get high, I hope this will help pull a bit more air through the rad/FMIC.
I will report after the next track day if it helped! if not.. time to chop a WRC style hole in the front of the bonnet!
