Plus bonnet scoops look stupid
I'd be saving up for a decent manifold

The trouble is I've just spent loads of money on it atm and I really want a proper manifold but it's going to cost me another £170 for one from rockwatt The only option it to make a whole in the bonnet for a minute need to spend money on other things to get it through its mot if you understand

That looks alright, sorted
Maybe the phrase should be bonnet 'bulge' rather than scoop.
You could stick these on, they clear the vent cap, obviously reversing them so the opening is at the back and maybe a pair would look better than one on one side?

I would just make like a flat topped bulge to cover it and weld it on. Sorted.
A proper manifold would have been the way to go though. They come up used every now and again.

Cheapo baking tray stuck on upside down would do the trick.
