So I've got an Untold Edition JCW Clubman — Sage Green — and I've been staring at that useless hood scoop long enough. It does nothing. So let's make it do something.

The idea: pull the stock scoop, mount a slim LED bar inside the hood cavity, reinstall the factory shell over it. Goal is that it looks completely stock when it's off. No mesh, no slats, no tells. Just a scoop. When it's on — clean forward flood with no visible source.

Wiring runs to the existing front fog harness. Factory fog button on the dash switches the whole thing. No extra switches, no sketchy relay work.

Long game is to model a custom shell in Fusion 360, print in ASA, dial in clearances and light placement, then paint it and swap the stock piece out permanently. Fully reversible until that point.

Can't find anyone who's done this. Before I pull the scoop I need to know what's actually under there — cavity depth between the shell and hood sheetmetal, whether there's room for even a slim pod light, and what the mounting situation looks like.

Anyone pulled their scoop? Anyone have a scan or CAD of the geometry? Let's build this.

 

Not completely unheard of:

Check the installation instructions for the Eventuri intake and scoop to see how the scoop gets removed. Then you can check to see what will fit in there. I think the idea sounds pretty cool.
