Different sort of Bonnet Bulge

by **EF ECTIV** » November 25th, 2008, 6:45 pm

Just having a look at maybe someone chopping this kind of VK Group A type bulge onto the
front of my falcon.... Im kinda over the XR8 bulge and looking at something like
this maybe over the next couple of months on my spare bonnet.... Ive always wondered
how a Group A/Brock scoop would look.....

cheers in advance

Take this bonnet scoop:

colour code, and drop onto here:

nah i dont agree, looks to much like umm i think its the mustangs that look like that ? my opinion wouldnt look good on ford.

Boxcar maybe (and that's a big maybe), Bubblecar no.

by **holmsy** » November 25th, 2008, 7:17 pm

do the fg bulge

by **Amon** » November 25th, 2008, 7:18 pm

the square shape of the scoop wouldnt suit the smooth edges of ur car...

btw vh/vk's are mad lookin cars...

oh and grats on the write up in street fords... good job

XB GT vents. i thought that looked pretty cool...

by **EF ECTIV** » November 25th, 2008, 8:57 pm

^^^nah not a fan.... anyone actually able to chop it like I asked?

by **Malakai** » November 25th, 2008, 9:52 pm

GTO vents FTW!

by **Rollin** » November 25th, 2008, 11:45 pm

GTO vents fail - they do completely the opposite of what you want to do with underbonnet airflow.

They don't even work on the factory monaros, so why bastardise a perfectly good bonnet for something that decreases the effectiveness of the cooling system?

reverse cowl FTW!!!
ive been trying to get **** to do this for ages haha.
do it matt!

by **LTDHO** » November 26th, 2008, 6:46 am

XB GT nostrals is a major failure on any other than XB and XC's.

XC Cobra had similar scoop to the VH SS. If you want to look at other options, look at old Camero and Trans Am.

by **EFFalcon** » November 26th, 2008, 7:30 am

i reckon go for it.
there are SFA custom bonnets on eseries... everyone just gets the bulge.

yeh that was gonna be another option.... I wouldnt keep the SS bottom completely
separate like the commo's above I'd do some form of fibreglassing to blend
it in a bit more....

Like you say John everyone gets the XR8 bonnet....

yeh matty reverse cowl is something I'll look at trying too.....

by **stevo** » November 26th, 2008, 2:03 pm

I didn't do what you asked for lol
I put a mustang cowl on (looks like a larger BA buldge)

I think it looks awesome.

by **wicksy** » November 26th, 2008, 2:07 pm

do that

by **EF ECTIV** » November 26th, 2008, 3:30 pm

holy shit stevo that looks pretty fuckin sweet..... I'd prob wouldnt have the bulge extending so far
forward (towards the front of the car) but yeah looks killer anyway cheers

by **Dumpsta** » November 26th, 2008, 4:58 pm

Im all for flat bonnets with no holes/bulges.. much tidier imo.

by **Rollin** » November 26th, 2008, 6:30 pm

That photochop looks the goods, as long as there is a twin cam underneath it, requiring the extra bonnet height

by **EF4LFTW** » December 2nd, 2008, 8:17 pm

and a vl walkinshaw one, i like this one quite a lot, but stevo's mustang cowl looks damn good, and mine were kncked up in 5 so they donn't look that great just a guide,

by **EFFalcon** » December 3rd, 2008, 7:25 am

walkinshaw ewww...

by **SLY5LT** » December 4th, 2008, 6:28 am

thanks for the feedback guy's

it's about 3/4 done to where i want it to be, a couple more small mod's to body & interior & then motor & gearbox upgrades next year

looking tuff is one thing but i want to be able to back it up!!! most of the i6 turbo's i've seen at the mini meet's etc would chew my car up as it is at the minute :lol:

but i do alot of cruise klm's so don't want to go to wild.

oh!!! "EF ECTIV" congrat's on the mag spread....you got to be happy with that.

Nice work mate. Ronnie did a good job of that.....the 2nd time round

by **SLY5LT** » December 12th, 2008, 4:07 am

thanks fella's, it's all coming together with what i've got in mind as far as the looks side of it

next year i hope the performance side of things will be just as good

look's good in pic's.....but as per the last 3 time's i've dropped it off to him he's had it for 3 day's each time & only get's things done on the last

every time i've been to pick it up he's "just in the middle" of it!
the paint...as i said was just out of the booth....only to look at it after work to find spot's he's missed :roll:

(will fix myself)
i don't know if it's because he's had alot on ? but that's no excuse, i would recomend him to people...with the advise to write what you want with diagrams on paper so there is no mixup .
i will end up doing a respray of the car & get get the ding's done next year some time so was'nt to fussed overall about the paint. doing a custom grill but will have the standard one on over xmas break, all in all is coming together at last :lol:
