I've decided to try a ram-air hood scoop to help cool the IC better. Although I liked the red scoop I did not think it would look good on a larger scale. After the install I was immeditely pleased with my decision and like the new scoop much better.
Now I have to decide on what colour to do the 'GP'lettering.

It's the palo uber ram scoop, it came from mini-madness, however ask them to make sure the signature is in the middle or just opt for no signature. Mine is slightly off-centre but I'm going to be covering it with the GP decal

Looking on Mini madness, whats the signature say exactly?

Xmas Pressie for the Mini me thinks, then put my carbon fibre one on the GP.

Wheels are stunning!

I found that the GP IC works very well even when ragged if it gets a little help from a scoop (I have the M7 one). The GP IC is way way better than standard and the scoop does seem to really help it just enough to allow it to be pretty efficient.

Good buy!

any windscreen wiper judder at speed.....?

Richard Crofts · Dec 6th, 2007, 04:17 PM

Not when they are sitting still above 70 (on track obvioiusly) ... they judder if over 80-85 with stock scoop if trying to actually wipe the screen...not horrible, but noticable. The M7 scoop appears to have had no effect on when and how they judder, although above 70 you can start to see them move a bit...they maybe vibrate when in use at a few MPH lower than they did before, but not really noticable IMO.

Ant FR · Jan 3rd, 2008, 08:08 AM

I've just fitted the M7 extreme Ram hood, along with their anniversary strut brace! I've got the standard 210 JCW, but not had it fitted long enough to notice what improvements it has made. Looks great though, better in the "plastic" than in the photos!

The GP lettering on your new Ram a nice touch!

mattyc · Jan 14th, 2008, 09:41 PM

have you got any pics from the side?

i'll second that, as there are 2 different M7 ones are there not, and i thought that one looked more like a scooby vent.

but the M7 one does like niver than the carbon one at the beginning of this thread.
