Actually black isn't a bad colour, but everybody knows that yellow is a much faster colour than red.

I'm not sure how you will know it works or not. It won't do anything significant enough to measure let alone "feel" I think.
Where exactly are these two scoops going to direct air? My 530 has just a single inlet into the airbox on the side of the radiator.
