ive been pulled over in other cars having open bonnet scoops (was on the car when i bought it) and have had no issues with cops. they say it may void the insurance incase your engine blows or a pipe explodes and it causes a safety issue by allowing it to come out.

however i have a mate that works in midland police station and he has said cops have no right to birdie you for a bonnet scoop as long as its structurally sound (bolted in correctly). he didnt say if you had to cover it, but he recommends you do incase blowby or engine failure and it comes out the middle of the scoop (smoke everywhere) and causes you not to see.

so by that its mainly a safety issue but they have no backup to birdie you for it!
