    Just make sure you cut the hole in the bonnet in the right spot... Don't want to get that wrong.

    Finally had a moment to check out the full contents. Everything checks out, no dents, as far as I can see everything needed is here.
    Got to actually see the true size of this cooler by holding in and the scoop and it's pretty big. Scoop as well. Scoop just a tiny bit bigger than the factory scoop.

    Just going through paper work etc... I have to admit the instructions for the scoop install are a tad piss poor.
    Most of the instructions and photos are about the intercooler install, which is pretty much a bolt on out of the box and very hard to get wrong. But only 2 bits of paper (template and a poorly written A4 page )on fitting the sccoop.
    Some instructions arrived on a DVD in PDF format etc...
    The guy told me to call them when fitting to explain, easier to explain over the phone how it works because they do them every day.
    I asked them why not make a video of one of their installs and put that on a DVD instead... Would help immensely.
    @Rocket55
    I can now see how easy it was to stuff the scoop cut-out. Not very hard to do.

    Yep, glad you said that, as I'll run with that too.

    Although it should have twigged with me whilst I was cutting out the curved hole, how did everyone else do this with a 4" angle grinder and 1mm thick cutting wheel, but alas it didn't

    After getting used the the view with the scoop on, got to admit, it did feel funny driving the Cruiser with no scoop at all, kept thinking something was missing or wrong...
    Cheers Rod

    Your driving a Cruiser Rocket. Thats Whats Wrong. Lol.

    Eric I think you mount the cooler first and ontop of the cooler on the foam you peel this off I think, shut the bonnet, and then this foam makes a mark for where you are supposed to cut. I think thats how it goes. I spoke to a guy and he mounted it all and put grease on the foam then shut the bonnet. This gave him a good line to go by.
    Just remember when cutting with a grinder to cover your windscreen and all unprotected paint work. Hot metal flying everywhere and glass/ paint, don't go together well.
    And take your hood insulator off too. Lol.
