Chromiumtech bonnet scoop

Hi guys,


My first post on NAM, coming all the way from sydney Australia!

Just wanted people's opinion on this bonnet scoop?

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/vi...d=360516339511

Has anyone installed one and can comment on the quality, was it hard to fit, any suggestions on different brands?

Considering I live in Australia I'm relying on sites that ship internationally to purchase parts.

Thanks

Dane

It looks a much more agressive replacement than all the others with the exception of the ones from M7 in the US.
I'd imagine the part probably just clips on as does the OEM one and I'd consider it. I was going to get one from M7 but they require drilling a decent sized hole in the underside of the bonnet.
I live in Brisbane by the way and have bought parts from the US and GB and had no problems.

Edit. Looks like delivery to Australia is about $100 cheaper than the M7 Vortex. Have sent an email to the UK about this one. Quite interested.

Outmotoring sells these too:

I think they look good and I think cheaper than the M7 offering. Not sure though if Outmotoring ships internationally but I'd assume they do.

Was looking at their JCW style bodykit as not a big fan on the standard JCW Aero rear bumper.

I am in the UK so if ever you need anything getting from here and shipping I may be able to ship for less.

Looks pretty identical to the notch scoop from OutMotoring. Aside from the eBay pic being painted but obviously it doesn't come painted.

Yeah, Outmotoring ships internationally. Have had a bit if stuff delivered to Oz and Aaron responds promptly to emails as well.

The Outmotoring one looks the same and is $15 cheaper as well, to state the obvious.

This part from Outmotoring will only cost an extra $15 in postage to Australia. Way cheaper than from the UK.
