Engine intakes/air scoops

[Richard Dower]

Not sure if that is the correct technical term....but i have been looking at some rather interesting and little used parts and wondering if anyone has found a good use or more creative use for these parts?

I bought these in yellow as i had an idea of adding them somewhere on 8275....but cant think of a good spot?

In my modified Blue Mustang, I use this piece as 'hips' in the rear. This is because the 11x3 curved technic panel wasn't available in blue

very interesting usage there.....

i wonder if anyone has tried connecting two of them together and find a use?....its like a single huge airscoop.

They look like they could be used a side panelling or to give the front or rear of a vehicle some character. Robot and bionicle builders would find those useful too, they look like bionicle parts.

i tied that once but it just looks idiotic.they are more beautiful as 2 single roofscoops

I used quite a few of 61069 in my Siege Tank. Maybe not the most creative use but to give the tank enough interesting shapes.

8265 front loader uses a couple of the top piece to fill I the gaps on the sides.

8436 crane truck also used a couple of the middle part.

i always thought the part should have been yellow on 8265.

i don't think so because i looked at it as a cooler.
