The truth is I don't hate the scoops. I also think the euros are a bit 'safe' and compliant. Now that doesn't really qualify me as rad or edgy but I definitely like things a bit different.
The plot thickens.
Remember, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Ditch the scoops, they’re just wrong. Other opinions are of course available.

Poop scoopers - that’s the best use for them (if you had them). Horrible things, don’t even think about keeping them or you’ll be sad every time you look at your car.

Scoops are all kinds of wrong. But you've got every right to be wrong

This is going exactly how I thought it would. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

I do appreciate that the scoops are a little fugly. At this moment in time I have neither scoops (my existing are shot) or euros so I'm just gathering opinions and ideas for now.

If anyone has any H4 units for sale I might, just might, be interested.

Thanks again.
I have good condition scoops from a desert state you can have at a bargain price.

Well, that's sorted that out.

Great to meet some of you chaps on Sunday at the Honeydale Farm swap meet.

I came away with a very nice pair of H1 lights.

You scoop haters won the debate! Image
