I will mock something up over the weekend and get some photos! 

[smiley]

A small scoop shape to replace the oem mesh only, and use the existing mounting points (plug glue some on the inside like the oem turbo ear) would be awesome.

The germans have their glue on ears, but with the right design, this may even be better.

TBH it annoys me the slats don't align with the mesh...that's just me though

[MartinS]

Mine was going to be the original mesh just with an additional scoop section on the outer side. Plan had been to get an original and connect the additional sccop but the originals are very weak and when you take them off they usually just bend (ask anyone who fitted turbo ears to an NA).

A complete replacement that can bolt on would be neat. Alos mean that those who like to have the option of going back to original could.

Even though mine is a long way form an na, my daughters is one and I love these sorts of simple but interesting mods.

Let's make it happen then Martin! I can with a bit of time make a mould need to throw some designs around 👍 I will 3D model something up!

I support with happiness. ☺

Me too.

 

One of the German VX/Speedster places and the Eltech guy make NA compatible ears that don't involve the surgery. More like the turdo ears than these though.

Looks like this will happen  

 

Ok lets get the list going:

If it helps with the design I can mould the rear part of a tubby ear for you.

Haha what are you expecting out of this though??

[RabnaKS]

I like the red paint job more. Please spray my car in that colour.... But i also like Martin's design

hah wish I knew what colour it was so i can get the front resprayed

1st, I really wish you wouldn't😆 I like the addition from Martin S & could you make them slightly deeper, put a radius in to the corners & twist up/out the horizontals to create the draft upwards so the top is on the mesh & the bottom is approx 3-5mm off the mesh? Just my thoughts because I don't have your skill.

Group buy  Just registering interest really, if someone is going to go to the hassle of designing and making something and wants to sell them on I certainly will be interested in buying one if they look anything like the above 'photoshop' image.

 

Keeps us all informed with progress and see what can be done and pricing!    

[Acidpopstar]

I would be interested in this

[sford]

Me too. Sort of a little lip ear. Think the tubby ones stick out too much but that looks alright.

[Frosty34]

just been out so took a better picture of issue A 

 

[TFD]

Skip the mesh, ad the extra flap for more air +1.

I'll take a set.

[g1977]

I think this looks very good.

Something like this

 

 

[Ian59]

Either type looks good. Could be interested    

[RabnaKS]

I'd be interested! I'd still like to see if the pieces across could be angled?
