As I'm fitting some o.e M400 side scoops I'm keen to see what the mesh looks like inside.
The kit I bought from SWLC came with no mesh, therefore I need a visual reference as to what an M400 finished scoop looks like.
All google images show are scoops side profile. I need more visual detail of what's going on inside.

Your help is much appreciated

I have these, thanks to a fellow noble owner



When I get round to doing mine I'll use the slightly bigger holed mesh to try and improve the airflow.

I know where you're coming from, but has made no difference to mine now I have the mesh fitted. Really don't think it makes much difference without opening the front wheel arches.

So is the hole cut-out shape and size within the main body tub much larger on an M400 than a GTO? ......from the pic it looks like the cut-out is almost the full size of the scoop?............ I always thought the body tub was the same on both models but the M400 version just had scoops just bonded on.....
Your pic Metalman looks like the M400 actually has a much larger cut-out sized area behind the scoops, you can see all the clips holding the scoop to the body tub.

I was planning on bonding the scoops on and using the existing ventilation holes, but maybe theres more to it than that.

Your correct they are the same size. The holes that are opened to try to improve air flow to the scoops are within the front wheel arches. Rule no1 to remember, mow air in means more air out of the rear clam.

Paul, the secret is in getting the air out of the rear clam, if it can't get out you won't force anymore in !
