Fitting a bonnet scoop

I have eventually got hold of a chrome bonnet scoop and I am sure i found some fitting instructions on here last week, but cannot find them now - sods law.

I know its not that hard, but would prefer to see something in print. Does anyone know of where i can view the intructions.

Will post some pics when done.

Thanks
Paul

it's very easy - there are only four screws/bolts that you need to remove - get the bonnet up and have a look. I changed mine to black it was a five minute job

United-Kingdom scoooooooooop

I just fitted a real carbon fibre scoop to my black MCS and must agree it simple to do although the carbon fibre does not meet up with the inner plastic cowl (that directs the iar to the intercooler) as well as the original.

mmm carbon fibre

I thought you had very gentle hands
