Dont do it, everyone thinks you are a dickhead and it ruins the look of your car. Police remember who you are as well which isnt very good as you tend to build up a bad reputation from that sort of thing.

From FIRST HAND experience..

What a stupid sig.

Well the best thing I ever did to my old K11 was put a standard bonnet back on it, smartened it up no end.

What a stupid sig.

nope mine was rattlecanned badly first, still looked awful, waste of a good bonnet.

screams chav? lol...as said ive always hated black bonnets, but after looking closer at other cars with them on iam kind of liking them, its changing my opion :s least it would be the only chav style mod on my car ;)

tbh i reckon it will be worth it for the laugh of playing 0's and cross at car shows :P

Dan........listen to the Corbmeister...........you know he makes sense..........if you decide to do it,it's your choice...........but i wouldn't..........as for fun at car shows......you may find people laughing at you rather than with you.!!!
If you want to go with the stripped race theme..........use a light weight fibreglass hood if funds don't allow for a c/f one.........:)

ok ok lol...iam in to minds about this now :P tbh i reckon this bonnet painted in primer laquered would be just as gay :P but thats my opion on tommos idea lol...

ive been looking at track cars and what not, i.e 106 gti's and 205gti's and they only seem to have carbon or just a normal bonnet!....so iam thinking just keep my std bonnet maybe some pins but i dont know yet :s

how does everyone feel about primered and laquered gloss white bonnet?

I think silver would look good.

Yeas it was partially my driving, but it was the way the copper said 'this car has been reported several times' that made me think it would be better to be less conspicuous.

What a stupid sig.
