FINALLY... M7 Vortex scoop

My scoop finally showed up today, and I immediately ran outside and put it on before the sun fell. Initial impressions: The scoop looks GREAT. Much better than the extreme I had before. Fitment was a bit off, and that was somewhat disappointing, but nothing that couldnt be worked out. I had the scoop on within ten minutes.

Pictures are from my Bold, and the car is dirty. so the pics aren't the best, but they give a good idea about how it looks. I'm pleased...and the free gifts that came with it were a welcomed treat

LOL, I like your set up as is Mü-Shädd - l@@ks fantastic ! But most of my MINI's parts are painted including the Orciari Scoops, so I was hoping others may have some pics of this SCS painted.......

Does look good on your car, MUShadd - but, hey, dead bugs look good on YOUR car.... it's hawt.

Me, I'm still loving the Voltage scoop if you want something body color - I think looks better painted than the M7 one would... just an opinion.

thanks for the compliments guys. I will eventually paint it with Plastidip so it matches better with my other parts, but will still be a flatish/satinish black.

I was getting ready to pull the trigger on the voltage scoop, but just before i did the vortex came out. I guess the "newness" got the best of me, so i went for it....plus i didnt know anyone else that owns it.
