And, IIRC, it's a V-mount intercooler, which... I guess you could consider as a FMIC.

Yeah, to some extent that's true. Its not totally useless, but it wasn't exactly the best thing. Vents operate differently than scoops, and the scoop was just more "in the way" than anything else. What I've been reading is that Prodrive has been wanting to get rid of the scoop for years now, but SOJ made them keep it on.

Scoop
When I was at Prodrive's open house last year I had a lot of time to look at the WRC car. Under the hood of the '07 was a plate that blocked the hood scoop, it served no purpose other than for looks.
