    The warping was caused by heat, but that crack was caused by you pulling on the scoop from the center rather than lifting from the sides 😜

    Thanks man. Are you getting better flow with the new scoop? I’m thinking of painting mine black.

    Where did you get those bonnet stripes assuming you put them on? Love the color! This totally helped BTW! Thanks !

    +Andrew Elliot Those stripes really do look good! I'm also curious how he got a hold of them.

    i need to remove my hood scoop, but need to put it back again. does this break the plastic clips/pegs that hold it in as soon as you pull it off? many thanks

    Hi James, You need to be very careful when pulling the scoop out, as there are 6 male type of pins holding the scoop in place besides the main screw in the middle of scoop per video. The positioning of the 6 push type pins are as follows: 3 along the bottom leading edge of scoop, 1 at each upper right and left corners of scoop and 1 in middle of back, top edge of scoop. As always, use a smooth plastic or non-marring type of leveraging tool to remove the scoop upwards after removing the middle screw. Good luck with you scoop removal/re-installation and thanks for watching this poorly filmed video!

    the pins don't look like the ones in the picture here, www.minigenuineparts.co.uk/mini-parts/info_BM51_13_2_757_697.html i was thinking of getting this kit, but the pins/pegs look different to what yours did. do they look right to you?

    Hi Joey, thanks for your comment! I believe those were purchased on ebay several years ago. Sometimes they are plentiful, sometimes scarce at times. Good luck!

    +Edris Sattar Thanks for watching my video! It's only a decal on the stock hood scoop. (I have since replaced it with an all black one, as this one eventually warped and cracked from the high heat generated by the engine).

    Hi Paul, It's the stock one that came on the car. I just added the black film to the scoop flat part.

    It’s something like a trim tool? I got a set from Harbor Freight.
