Edit: if you read the bonnet scoop regs (get the Vehicle Info Sheet on modifications from Vicroads website) I think if you get a scoop to cover it, your bug catcher will be legal. Last edited by outback_ute; 18-04-2005 at 08:17 PM. |

What the hell.... did you respray the car yellow?
I didn't see this thread until now, VPW sell extra wide scoops that would have cleared the hole no problems for $120. Or my scoop, which I reckon is the best looking scoop ever made (only slightly biased though)! |

Ever rang VPW lately? We rang 3 separate times to be told they don't have stock. Any they call themselves a performance shop?
The photo was done via a mobile phone hence crappy image.

It is poor when each time you ring your asking for a different item. The standard repsonse is we're having a container shipped over shortly. I juts got a dipstick via Hot Rod Hardware. The order hadn't left the US last week. I had my dipstick in my hands delivered to Hallam Performance today
Thats service ;) I'm going to start shopping at Hot rod shops now. They parts are quicker to get and quite often on the shelf.
