If it's just the stick on ones then no shouldn't be any problems. If it's the genuine ones when you have to cut out, a cop might claim the bonnet is structe integrity or something and require an engineers certificate if there being a C***. But they shouoldn't as XR6's came otu with them and that. there's also rules about the bonnet, e.g. you can fit some massively tall vents that block off your vision and that

i think there's a guy on Fordforums.com or FordForums.com.au that sells the sesquential scoops.

I picked up a set of the XR8 ones a while back, but from what I see I can't put them into my stock GLi bonnet, the XR bunnets look like they have a recess that the vents drop into, not just a hole cut out :(

thats the way they are supposed to be fitted, but a lot of cars with them fitted (non original) just have a hole cut in the bonnet,

The cop wouldnt get very far with the bonnet being of structural importance bit..

Hi,

Sounds like you're after the Sequential Scoop. Im not sure if theyre still being produced, might just have to keep an eye open for one being sold 2nd hand :)

wouldn't it look messy, and how can they be anchored in, from what i've seen the XR bonnets have like a pressed recess and the vent sits in that and is bolted through, I haven't been able to see the underside of a bonnet to confirm exaclty how they are anchored though, so it's a guess, can someone take a photo of there XR bonnet to show.

these are mine, I may be selling them, unless anybody can give me a simple way to install and look neat on a stock GLi bonnet.
