And the www link points to HOLDEN-MONARO-BONNET-SCOOP .. !!! , i dunno if i want to even look ! ..lol ..
ok , so i looked .. and imo YUK , looks horrid , doesn't suit the curves of the original bonnet with them just pretruding up like that , needs to be sunk/cut into the bonnet with the whole top of the bonnet height raised and the same height ( like the XA/XB GT bonnet scoops ) - have seen 1 of them modified cut&shut from a XB to AU bonnet somewhere on here , looked better than that thing imo !! - allthough still needs to be refined a bit more too i think , needs to suit the shape of the rest of the car more . Call me 'old school' but i still think the only thing that has looked half decent on the AU hood is the black Shakers / like off the old XY GT's , they seem to suit alot of model fords imo , sure would be nice to have something original for the AU that suits though .

well it's not a look I'd personally have on my AU, but then we all have different tastes I guess it's just one of those things that you either like it or you don't.

I like it, but personally, I would prefer to stick a GT bonnet bulge on mine... but I'm not gonna do either. Personally, I like the look of the scoops, and I must admint that Holden did do a good job of it on the Monaro MK2. It would not surpise me if Ford did something similar to the new Orion GT Family soon.

i was at dynomotive in bayswater my mate was getting some tuning done, and they have a VY Spac S/C and it has a XR8 Boss Hump on the bonnet and looks ИИИИ and outa place its like flat and then boof a hump pops up. holden fans say they dont like fords but doesnt stop them from stealing ideas, i dunnno how many holdens ive seen running around with fords AJR signature wheels on them, POX wouldnt see a AU or BA with vtss wheels on it, wouldnt wanna degrade it with wheels like that anyways.

I actually like the idea of a pair of monaro bonnet vents on my white AU fairmont bonnet
Is it just me? Must be working too hard? |

it looks like crap, i saw that the other day, but didnt even think about posting a link.
I guess someone obviously wanted it done, and it really looks bad! Even XB style bonnet scoops would look stupid on a late model falcon. Its a pitty no one has come up with an "original" idea for the bonnets of the AU's. |

15 minutes of mucking around with 'MSpaint' and this is what i come up with roughly . I think maybe something along the lines of this wouldn't look to bad , sorta keeps the original shape and curves of the hood too, something original anyway with the scoops in a bit of a different place to usual , allthough if a mod like this was done you'de have to get rid of or move the intake snorkle - but im sure the scoops would be workable somehow to be used for the air intake . If i can get my hands on a spare bonnet i wouldn't mind trying something like this. Maybe not the final shape yet , but anyone like the shape/lines im heading along ?
