Hood Scoops

[Davidmay96]

Hi all,
I have seen Subaru Imprezas with hood scoops and on the roof.

I saw you could get them on any car, so I was wondering if anyone has done this and what it looks like?

 

[Andy93]

SRS?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

It looks s**t. (when not on an impreza)

 

[-Danman-]

Unless it's for track, I wouldn't bother mate.

There's a few photos of roof scoops in the track car thread.

Just take your bonnet off

 

[Davidmay96]

Ok fair enough that's what I wanted to know.
I wondered why I have only seen it on scoobies

 

[Inequality Street]

Althought I agree it would look rediculous on most cars, I don't actually know the purpose of one? What is it there for?

 

[banther]

Do it.

A 1.2 with a hood scoop would be excellent for CS morale.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

+1 Nothing like a hood scoop on a 1.2 to heighten CS morale

Daniel's garden path would get a good old fashioned hiding! Haha.

on scoobies they are functional right? intercooler on top of the block (when standard)

 

[Jaff.]

On the Subaru it feeds cold air to the intercooler which sits on top the engine.

Well worth it mate, ignore the haters. Fit it near your airbox and you will gain 10+ bhp easily.

The roof ones are for interior cooling on rally cars aren't they?

That's right, climate control essential in the UK according to a few on here.

 

[Davidmay96]

Seems very mixed :S


That's why I made this picture to give people a rough idea of what it may look like.


It's not a great picture but gives a rough idea.
Willing to give it a go if people want me too

 

[banther]

In all seriousness, do it.

​That Photoshop has changed my mind completely.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Great photoshop mate, completely makes it for me. I say do it and make sure to wrap it in carbon fibre first cos then its lighter!!!

 

[Davidmay96]

Just the top one or both?

 

[GTR Cook]

I thought people had grown out of putting Imprezza scoops on others cars.

Please dont do it, it looks rubbish when its not required.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Like some kind of engineering practical joke ?

Scoops on scoobs, FTW. Why the fcuk you would want one on your 1.2 Clio I'll never know :S

Also, FYI, it'll look like your car, with a scoop on the hood .. just incase you were still wondering.

FLOL this cracked me up.

Also LOL at the Photoshop. Epic skillzz

 

[banther]

Guys... Lay off. I now think it looks good buddy.

Do it. Do you have a progress thread? If not please make one. If you haven't done anything yet would be good to get peoples opinions on future work - so PhotoShop some more plans.

3M vinyl wrap is the choice for carbon wrapping iirc.

 

[banther]

I think 2 scoops could oust Cup Turinis as mod of choice.

 

[The Russian.]

FLOL!!!!!!!! At everything.

 

[banther]

Put your avatar back NOW <3

 

[Spinksy]

Absolutely pissing myself at the photoshop!!! Jared you had me in fits with wrapping it in carbon fibre to make it lighter!!!!

I'm not too keen on the idea mate tbh (and if I say no you know it must look bad....)

 

[banther]

As the CS authority on taste I think you should all pack it in.

OP its your car, you've obviously got PhotoShop skills so have a play about with the eBay designs, keep us updated and crack on.

I'm a little annoyed you've even asked for an opinion. You should have done it already.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Can't say anything Banther didn't say tbh.

It is your car but fair play would look awesome with it! NEED to wrap it in carbon fiber it does make it lighter, people who say the entire scoop needs to be made of it are just stupid!!
Go do it and keep us posted. looking forward to it.

 

[Davidmay96]

Seems it's getting a little heated :S
I may give it a go, and if it doesn't look good take it off. :approve:
It just seemed no had done it so I was thinking "why not?"

​Yeah f**k it, why not...

 

[Ray Gin]

Lol at putting a scoop on your clio to pretend you actually have power. WTF.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

​There's a reason no one has done it.

ive never had a go on your mum, should I do it?

why not eh?

 

[Ben]

Make sure you use tiger seal to bond it on.

We need pioneers.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

This is trolling that can't even be measured - it has to be.

Surely if you just take it off if you don't like it you will be left with a massive hole in your bonnet if your putting one on properly, or is the plan to just stick it on the top of the bonnet and not have it doing anything at all.

 

[Davidmay96]

Stick it on top of the bonnet.
I don't feel comfortable at the moment to attempt to make holes in the bonnet


Also thanks for the support Banther really good of you mate
