Looking good gandini

 

 

Ok guys here's mine (temporarily). At the time I didn't bother to check for any advice from you guys (bad idea). After reading SCA's post it seems I need to Dremel the diverter a little bit. i will have to wait until next weekend to this again.
Anyways, in my car it looks fantastic!! Great job guys. I have to admit that I grew somewhat skeptical after seeing some of the initial shots posted here. Maybe it was bad lighting but I can assure to anyone planning to make this purchase that the scoop looks amazing!!! Especially on a Jet Black ride.

Some pics:

I did not need to Dremel mine but i did trim it


The one i posted early has been mod'ed cut about 1 more inch off. Just like the photo above

 

TheWrks:
Thanks for the pointer. Anything else?

 

Anyone installed one with the GRS I/C yet?
Jim

 

I have fashioned A "ramp" from the base on the Scoop to the top of the I/C cover (it is just rest on the top of it.) So it will move freely with the movement of the engine, Driven 70 mile with it. There are no signs of "the ramp" interfering with the engine movement.. I'll hopefully take some photos .....

I got a piece of rubber (4in x 4foot) I can't remember what it is used for, could be the wall trim for carpet.... It was $4
When the scoop is off you will see the mounting holes. All I did was cut a strip to fit the length of the I/C cover. and used OEM trip tape (double sided) and stuck it to the long flat metal piece. (Which the Scoop rest on now) The Ramp rests on the I/C cover to allow movement of the engine.

 

fDAvid -- that looks damn good. Much more agressive front end. I'm thinking about getting the black scoop even though my MCS is Indi Blue. I think the darker, more pronounced scoop could look really good in contrast with blue.

 

Nice job on the front intake. Much better look and more functional. You also have a reply on your wing please.
Thanks Larry

 

Yep! Had to trim the larger GRS diverter (similar to trimming done by The Wrks above) and have not replaced the lower one. But, it looks finished and plenty of ram air is forced into the IC.

 

Oh sorry what was the question? Did you post somewhere else? Please direct me to the appropiate thread and I'll reply any q's you might have.

 

Is anyone else still waiting on their CF scoop? I'm just wondering if they are just shipping a few at a time or if there is a temporary stall in production. I ordered mine over a month ago and havn't been able to get a status update on my order from M7 via their contact page.

I'm not that concerned about it, since M7 has a good reputation and I believe that good things will come to those who wait, but I am just wondering if anyone has recieved thier CF scoop recently.

 

I am still waiting on mine as well. From the pics I've seen here it looks like that with patience comes a great product.

 

I just got a Gel scoop today! it looks like th next batch is starting to ship so other should be seeing them soon. keep an eye out, Peter had done a lot over at M7 and is making them as fast as he can. this thing is so fresh, i can still smell it. I'll be painting and fitting mine soon.

 

got mine last week!!

 

I am very happy for you guys

 

Whats the new sig. about Sid.

 

I am hoping it's a Butterfly

 

Anyone here willing to sell their Extreme Hood Scoop after switching to the Ram Scoop? Preferably in DS! Please PM me for your price and location! Thanks!

John

 

anyway this can be done in chrome??

 

Sorry, but you are forbitten to purchase this intake :impatient Just kiddn...you'll have to ask M7 that question...

 

The black STB was a big hit. Maybe the next hit will be a chromed Ram Air.

 

I currently have the OEM chrome scoop on my Mini and I think that this scoop in chrome combined w/ the silver stripe would look awesome IMO
