Thats Steve Bignalls Gt4 - He made his own Front bumper ( modified a standard one i believe- ill check on this if you like next time i speak to him ) so thats a custom job - not off the shelf . You could ger a similar effect with the group a Bonnet by removing the centre pillar if you want wide FM intercooler gap . Last time i saw this car - his scoop wasnt being used for anything in particular though he had plans for a custom air intake under the front passenger fender area .
As for the little hole - its used as a cam belt cooler - its plumbed into the cam gear assembly to keep it all from not roasting itself to bits with the heat
Re using the scoop for an air intake for CAI - youd have a pluming mess under your bonnet seeing the airbox is located WAY down the front of the car. Youd be better off using a pieice of tubing coming up from under the fender and plumbing that into the airbox + Shielding the box from the heat
The top scoop is designed purely for the top mount intercooler - Looks good yes - but it would be a pain inthe arse to make it into a air ram youd have to fabricate somethign to sit UNDER the bonnet to direct air into the front left hand corner of the car and that in itself would be restrictive. Everyone i know has used the plumb from fender design cause its a lot more effective and cheaper to make
