Help with Gruppe M

[Yan_man]

Hi guys i just brought this gruppe m of someone in this forum he told me is 2 weeks old brought from cpl. But when i got hold hold of this i just notice the scuttle panel and the air duct scoop is missing from this system anyone know if i can still use this system without these parts?

The Scoop is (was) around £100 but maybe you could try getting one from Tegiwa imports as they do FakeM's.

You will be better off modding your OEM scuttle, I have done a couple now.

Or there is a guy on CTRO that chargers £27.

Thanks for the info but what does it really need to modify the OEM scuttle what's wrong with the one provided with the gruppe m?

Its shit.

Rattles and is a completely different finish to OEM. Its glossy and ghey.

Although it is more essential to mod an oem scuttle on the Ep3 because you can see much more of it than on the Dc5. The dc5 scuttle is mostly hidden behind the bonnet.

Double sided tape stops the rattling if you are not bothered by aesthetics.

"Hi got a brand new gruppe m filter complete kit carbon fiber for my dc5 from cpl racing about 2 weeks ago receipt to prove cost 650 but changed my mind about car buying an evo so selling the filter comes in original box in brand new condition complete with the scuttle and fitting kit original instructions and box if interested i want around 500 for it my number is 07071040973 so just give me a call if interested also im located in london"

He clearly states he's got the scuttle and is a complete unit so perhaps it was an over sightnot to hand it to your brother though you would think he would let you know once he realised.
