How many of you guys with the Gruppe M are using the replacement scuttle panel `cowl` supplied with the kit and who modified their OEM scuttle panel like the ones below:

Not sure if I want to use the Gruppe M one or not. Is it really as bad as people say it is? Vibration wise.
I`m thinking of cutting the OEM one, as it looks neater and by the sounds of it will be less trouble later on.
For a bit there I was scratching my head trying to figure out what he did, but the jist of it, if I am correct was that he cut the original panel to make room for the GruppeM Scoop and allowing it to sit lower and for the purpose of getting an OEM fit with no vibrations?
If thats the case I think the OEM solution looks quite good apart from the DIY involved, my only concern is that with so much bog in there it may crack over time.
Try the GruppeM one first I'd say for some time and see how that goes and if it doesnt work out do the mod to the OEM stuff, after seeing this DIY I will try that first before I decide to hack the original cowl.

Did you mod the scoop so that you dont have to remove it when you open the hood at all?
No need mod anything man, on my ep was fine with the scuttle piece they sent and the hood never hit the scoop on opening or closing.

With the rattling issue its the scoop vibrating against the scuttle piece. I had double sided tape under the scuttle to my windscreen, didn't stop the rattle. Put thick tape behind the gruppe m piece doesnt solve rattles. So putting double sided tape between the screws will stop it rattling.
