i think that if its the right size and right location, it'd look quite nice...

wait, the vents face the back, right?

Personally not a fan of bonnet scoops unless they're factory fitted - aftermarket ones tend to ruin the clean lines of a vehicle imo

Is it still called a scoop if it lets hot air out rather than scoops cold air in?

A scoop that is almost flush with the bonnet might look nice. Depends where you put it.

I much rather a scoop have a practical reason for being there rather than for looks.

looking at the bonnet it is a large surface area, it needs something to break it up, whether its a bonnet scoop or some form of stripeing dare I say it like an xr6. it just needs a feature to finish it off. IMO.

This is my opinion as well. To me, having a scoop on the Aurion would just seem out of place. Personal opinion though I guess.

I agree. Mostly.

Unless it was done Subaru Liberty style...

That bonnet would look awesome on a Sportivo or TRD.

Personally I would not do it unless it had a function, maybe to supply more cool air to an after market intake orSRI. A bonnet scoop doing nothing is just as bad as putting on those fake plastic brembo brake caliper covers in discussion at the moment.

To add to my previous statement before, the only case I could imagine a bonnet scoop working is if you were to get a completely new bonnet... as in shape. It's just the way the bonnet is... I can't quite figure it out.

Edit: I'm thinking it might do with the fact that the bonnet seems wider than it is longer.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
