Last week I ordered an RPI scoop, received it this morning so thought I would see if I could do this in my lunch hour.
Open the box...

Looks good...no RPI graphics but I might paint later it anyway

Pop off the front grill and use the tape provided to hold it in place

It IS ridiculously easy isn't it!
Mine took about the same amount of time and also had NO RPI graphics!
Eloy (Great guy I might add!) sent them to me two days later!!
