RE: Badger 5 t-bodies

["Lauri Pettai" <lauri.pettai@netexpress.ee>]

I've been wondering, is there a possibility to rebuild the
front end of the Scirocco so that you can unscrew it if you
like? Like you can do it with golfs. Then I'd do it so that
I'd put the radiator a bit lower to make the room for the
cool air intake. Lot of custom building, but it might be
worth it?

Hood scoop thingie is not going to work as the place where
you'd have to put the scoop has actually vacuum in there.
So no air is going to go in from there. Only out.

Lauri!
