Will the scoops poke through the bonnet when it's all done...?
Cheers Mai Ki, no everything will stay under the bonnet. For some reason best known to my iPhone, the angle I took the pic at makes it look like the carbs are sticking up.

Yeah, I've kept an eye out for one of those for years Mick, but the guys who have them don't want to sell them.

Thanks Ian, yeah I know about the AussieSpeed ones and how they don't have the oil leak problems of the original alloy sideplates. I'll leave it for the time being, but I might be tempted to buy one later down the track though :thumbsup:
