the bonnet was pretty easy really. just removed from car, measured it out where i wanted it all nice n square. drilled a couple of holes, heavily masked all around it to protect from abrasion/scratching and cut out with a jigsaw.
just painted the edges with rustguard primer then let dry.
used some sika flex to make sure the ribs were well and truly bonded to the rest of the bonnet.
and sprayed some lanotec around all the cut n primed areas.
should be pretty easy if your a boily.
gu scoop i think is slightly bigger but not too much.
the hilux one was a bit of a bastard as all the mounting points on the scoop are actually lower then the edges of the scoop. so to make the scoop sit flush on the bonnet i had to cut out little squares so they sit into the bonnet. then when you tighten them up it pulls tight onto the bonnet. gu scoop may be the same, not sure.
just used a 2.5" straight hose. used the same hoses as in the other thread.
the 1.75" silicon joiner onto the 2" alloy joiner was a bit of work, but after heating and some effort i managed to force it on. theres no way of getting it off again haha.
it might not work out if you do the bracket first.
the way mine is there;'s no easy way to make the core sit level, possible maybe, but im not sure. would have to play around with the 135degree joiners, mine only has about 5mm clearance in 2 spots. and the core only clears another spot by about the same.
level may look neater but i found it more practical the way i did it.
i got the IC in then made the bracket to hold it in the exact position.
once finished, bolted it in then tightened the clamps on the intake and both sides of the ic so it fits nicely.
will be interesting to see how you go, and if you do anything differently.
