Louvres are cool, but it depends what look you're going for. They aren't exactly in yer face, rather subtle though. It might be cool to combine them with a vent too.

It's best if you cut sections in the bonnet, raise or lower them, and then re-weld the sides or front/back. Easy to do, not done before (yet) and will NEVER crack.

OR

Get three or four Monteray vents. Fit them on the bonnet, going from front to back, stacking them so they over-lap. Blend it all in with fiberglass and filler. Voila! Something not seen before. (and possibly a pile of excrement. aspecially if not done right.)

Most scoops have been done so many time before, so I would say mod a scoop to look different(Like my puslar one) or make your only design.

Im working on a new bonnet,thats housing old shape scooby turbo vents,notice I say vents not scoop??? theyre the ones from the front of the bonnt,should be kewl whel finished,and you can mod the vents too!-mesh em like I am or something-best bit is the crease in the nova bonnet is almost identical to the one in the vents,so u can get em central fairly easy!

If you wanted something individual, perhaps you shouldn't have told us what you plan to do... :roll:

Try phoning around body kit makers and ask if they have any new scoops out or in the pipe line(You might be the first to get one).

I never seen a Ford Maverick Turbo Scoop on another car! Idea.

A mate of mine has ask me to make him a Bull nose scoop.

Matt :D

Go for a couple of GSi astra, looks nice and subtle, not too over the top.
