dunno, just thought it looked a little different. Thinking that making it look a little ratty would go nicely with the power shes got

i think its a really nice looking car as it is mate but it really up to you. it would make it defonatly unique! but i think it would look better with a standard bonet :) IMO :)

Im not a fan either but it was on the car when i bought it.. i figured its more important to spend my money fixing a blown engine than a body shop removing bits and bobs.

Nah in danger of looking too chaved with body kit and rusty bonnet keep it looking clean and tidy IMO

This idea I like.

Just a rusted bonnet doesn't need any talent or imagination.

I know some good laser cutting/engraving companies just need the design in an electronic CAD format, Step,iges or Solid works  :smiley: (I might be able to help with CAD)

It does look cool, but everyone in the rat scene has overdone the rusty bonnet thing.

Don't just keep it shiny and smart coz everyone else says so, do something interesting and different with it.

Not a fan of the rusty look. Seems a bit overdone recently.
What's the body kit you've got? Could you remove it?
You've got a nice car, with a very decent engine, seems a shame to ruin the look (IMHO) with a rusty bonnet and that body kit.

PAint your bonnet, rat look is wank
Title: Re: Should i do it?
Post by: tg1 on 11 May 2010, 00:00
run it for a few days and see what you think,

personally i wouldn't. if you have to explain it, its not cool

i'd refit the numberplate in the recess too. clean it up loads more than the bonnet would
Title: Re: Should i do it?
Post by: Sam on 11 May 2010, 10:38
If i move my numberplate then all i have done is sucessfully blocked my intercooler and reduced power? That aint gonna happen any time soon  :grin:
