Aftermarket bonnet air scoop

The other day while I was checking oil/water levels I was wondering if there is any aftermarket air scoop modification to allow more air into the intercooler. There is some "area" to work with without having to alter it with outside lips, etc. Maybe the intercooler almost horizontal angle is the obstacle here?

I know of the BBR one, personally I don't like as it has a small lip which upsets aerodynamics and spoils the looks....

Check out a company called ALTA. Their modification is to the intercooler cover & they claim an increase in airflow as well as providing a hookup for a water spray for additional cooling.
