depends what condition ur bonnet is n an if you can easily find another in black or not!! sometimes its best to replace it with an already black one as you can then change it back easily if you wish

have you not thought if u want black bonnet to go for a carbon one?

Vinyl wrap your bonnet, if you dont like it or when you get bored take it off

As above, much easier plus easy to undo if you want to.

+1!

And don't do your bonnet black either, looks like you've had a front end smash, replaced the panels but couldn't afford to get the bonnet sprayed...

Yeah it may look good on a yellow car, however there is a danger of looking like a wasp? But then again don't get me started on yellow cars, i cannot understand why people have them lol, my mate had a Leon in yellow and my other mate a TVR in yellow, needless to say they both get called the canary mobile by everyone else!

And yes, both are quicker than my golf  :lipsrsealed:

Do carbon bonnets crack with the heat generated by the engine over time?
