its a quallity peice, looks good but dont expect any increase in engine output
not 100% but is it the spoon one that requires the underside of the bonnet cutting?
I had a fake spoon snorkel for most of my ownership and I do feel that it solved a heatsoak problems. I had a spoon yellow filter at the same time.
You dont need to cut your bonnet but might need to adjust your bonnet catch/rubber stops by a mm or two. If you do it well it will look flush.
You obviously need to remove or cut your air guide. I removed mine and then got a simple CF rad cooling plate which I trimmed.
I would NEVER pay nearly £300 for it though. Get on ebay and buy a CF or Kevlar fake from HK. MUCH cheaper.
Be careful though there is a difference between 00-02 and 03-current. Those I posted above look to be pre 04, where a brace was fitted across the bumper which gets in the way of the snorkel. The spoon snorkel you link to looks pre 04. You will need to check it fits. I recall they made a different snorkel for 04 onwards.

Bonnet does not need cutting, however it is designed for the pre facelift bumper.
The snorkel WILL FIT the facelift as I got it installed on mine, however you will need to remove the front brace (a metal bar in front of the radiator) and cut a little bit of the plastic off the grill in the bumper.
