There are gen2 MPS3 looking bonnets available. And a couple of other designs.
But for the money they would do SFA.
You would be better off upgrading the TMIC or getting a FMIC. Would be cheaper, and far more benefit
Personally I think the MPS cars would gain more from letting the hot air out rather than letting more air in
Agreed. The car already has a perfectly adequate ducting for the TMIC. I can only assume that you want it for the looks. Given the cost of a bonnet replacement or custom building a scoop on, and repainting your existing bonnet, I agree with bd581 - a total waste of money - and a good way to devalue your car.
Again, agreeing with bd581, If I was going to mess with the bonnet, I'd put in some tasteful louvres or at least some proper venting at the rear of the bonnet, to let the hot air out. I have written about this before and posted pictures.
These are personal opinions, is your car, and we all welcome individuality.
Yuk!

I heard that VARIS do cooling, example below, still very OTT. Yuk!

YELDARB, couldn't agree more. But it's nice if you can help a fellow member save money or put it where it matters - and maybe not look totally daft, as your pictures reveal. I'm sure bd581 intends the same thing. And I think I did use the word "tasteful" somewhere too.... ;o)
I actually LIKE the sneaky way the MPS6 ducts its air into the TMIC (or air-filter in my case) and it gives the front edge of the bonnet a nice lean and mean look. I think it picks up less crap too. You could catch birds in some of those scoops you show (and maybe a camel in one of them)!
Actually I struggled to find many examples to be honest. So it's not a common mod, still would be interested to see a different version. Might even look decent. But as Brad suggested, any huge influence on performance seems unlikely.
ah k thanks guys, for the pics and info... yea was just thinking about it.. prob is cheaper to get a FMIC, is there much cutting to do to fit a FMIC ? doenst look like much room in front of tat radiator. also how is the lag with having a FMIC. its alot cooler then a TMIC but wit longer pipes comes more lag though?
Just upgrade your TMIC, hyperflow for example, there's plenty of ducting
on the factory bonnet, have a look it's like a hidden scoop with air forced from the front.
Cheers Todd
I really want this bonnet. I can't find a place to buy it from tho:

Speed holes make the car go faster
That just looks like the original bonnet with a speed hole very craftily cut and shaped. I like. Not a fan of the front bar, or the wheels for that matter.Quote:

Note the small vents on the bottom right for a SRI c/w enclosed box and channelled air flow ductwork under.
