New CF scoop !

My much anticipated Palo Uber Carbon Fiber hood scoop arrived today. I ran and opened it up immediately. As with all the Palo Uber products I have purchased in the past it was amazing quality. When you are use to buying aftermarket parts you are always use to the let down when you open the box. Not with this scoop the carbon fiber weave looks amazing.

So, I quickly ran over to my tool box and removed my factory scoop and slid the Palo Uber right on. Again, the fit was perfect just like OEM. Once I put down the hood to get my first look on the car, my love continued for the scoop again. It has a seamless integration on the hood and a factory fit, no odd looking seams it sits perfectly on the hood.

And the look on the car is awesome, the scoops angles and shape contour perfectly, to the Mini’s naturally flowing lines. I will certainly, have pictures in the days to come!

I have no such experience and have bought from NUMEROUS VENDORS.

You post sounds like a UBER written add.

Now I'm no Joel Seymour, but WTF? I'd like to see those naturally flowing lines on my Mini! It's cute, it's retro/modern, it's funky, but flowing?? ahh,
I think the review's a bit UBER the top. Still, if ya like it, then good on ya

Sorry, it arrived last night since we are all overly concered with the details. Should I post the tracking information too?

And this scoop has been out from these guys over a month. What they post in the vendor reviews is up to them.

Yes, pictures are forthcoming if I can get home from work before dark :( Then you guys can all see the nice lines of the scoop !

However; Oliver Stone could make this work, since there is no real P.U. and who knows if the grassy knoll theory is correct or not then I guess P.U could have been on the grassy knoll.

So obviously P.U. shot JFK, and Bobby too.

Wow! NAMer purchases something he likes, shares his thrill and then gets trashed. If he wants to pay Uber prices then so be it. We all know the quality is good, it is the price we have problems with. But why trash someone who is willing to pay their hard earned bucks for something they want, it did not come out of our pockets and I hope he loves it, especially since he did pay good bucks for it. More power to him and yes it has been advertised for about a month as being available.

Ehh....I personally would have rather of bought a custom Fireballed! turbo kit instead of a CF scoop from PU.

I think they cost about the same.

No reference made to price and no trash on his purchase.

Some just question the scripted add and the "trash" on other vendor quality.

it's a shill... new members to this forum may mistake this for a real review... fanbois are dangerous as they let people get ripped off.

Passat champions everything uber the day it is released. Intersting how he lives some what close to where the 20 year old originator is from.

I'm trying to post so people looking for a good product don't see this page and assume that it's 100% accurate. Take that for what you will.

Do you suppose there are an fanboys of other vendors? Seems like there are a lot of "saints" for Jesus around and I don't see anybody giving them hell.

"convets" is that a hybrid? I am sure you will see many more of them showing up here shortly as the heads are traveling the world as we speak. They are getting the same reviews over there too.
thanks for the bump
