    Installing a Scoop into a GU bonnet

    Hey guys.
    At the moment I'm intercooling my gu 4.2td ute and was planning on putting a stock intercooled bonnet on.
    But the availability on this part is low and price is high, So I was wondering how hard it would be to cut a scoop into an existing bonnet? and also if anyone had any measurments for the bolt holes and main hole. or like a blueprint or something.

    Cheers Scott

    as per the last thred http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GU-GQ-PAT...item4165d512ba
    it said either silicon it on or tell them and they will put bolts on it for you
    a lot cheeper i think
    have you tried the wreckers
    remember if you dont get the right colour it needs to be painted $400.00
    so the vent is a lot is cheeper
    i did see a carbon fiber on and for a smallamount extra will put a scoop in it
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GU-GQ-PAT...item4165d512ba
    i supose it all depends on the amount you are willing to pay
    if installing a scoop it will have the bolts embeded in it so that problem solver
    as to the main hole i guess it depends on the location of the intercooler
    have a look at a mates troll or go to a car yard and look under the bonnet and take a few measurments
    hope this helps
