I like the bonnet bras, im thinking of putting one on my GTI because of the dent on the bonnet, personaly i think they look great!!.... but i don't know how the bra's are made, would it sink into the dent on my bonnet our would it hide the dent? if it will hide it will will deffo get one :grin: Please, if any one knows or has one, let me know :wink:

they look sh!t, but thats only my take on things, if you like them then its up to you :wink:
-
How much will the dent cost to fix? Vs the cost of the bra?
Fix the dent :wink:
-
as Toofunkyhouse says would rather have my bonnet sprayed every few years than have one fitted but each to their own of course :smiley:
-
why not try paintless dent removal?
-
How does that work? I havn't looked into dent removal but im NOT painting it, because i can never get a good match! and i realy cant afford to have it done professionaly! Where/how do i get paintless dent removal done? Do those kits work?
-
its one of the call out crowds im in ireland but would say there is pleanty more in the uk try the yellow pages
-
chips away are supposed to be good, they are all over the uk :wink:
-

just had 65 dents removed from mine, most i didnt even know was their :shocked: by a mate who owns ones of these companys, they do it from behind the panel using what looks like coat hangers, also mirrors and some other mad devices, he has a new system now, did all my doors without removing the interior panels, he had what was a paper thin device that slotted down the inside of the door, results are fantastic, if you were near leeds id hook u up
no painting is involved and aslong as your exsiting paint isnt cracked your all good
failing that ur prob best looking for someone breaking a mk 3 in your colour and getting the bonnet
bonnet bras look gay

bras are for gays.

even if you do like bras (car bras that is :p) i dont think your car is "euro" enough so IMO it wont suit it at all

on a mk2 you can get away with it.

with monster truck suspension i doubt it lol...infact, it only really looks good on cars that are lowered
edit - looking at the oringonal picture it looks like it has been jacked up...no wai is that stock suspension, can park another golf in there most likely :shocked: :laugh:

Thats a fair point. Only time i ever saw a bra was on a mk2, and the owner was a nob, so its put me off them :laugh:
-
It will be more euro when its done, its up on stands with one wheel on at the moment, I wouldnt put it on if it was stock because that would look stupid lol
I think i will leave it. I tryed the hairdryer and compressed air method.... it didnt do a thing! LOL
-
dent pulley will get the dent out :laugh:
-
wear a bra man!

good man...you know the bra is a bad idea :p
i guess the hair dryer trick didnt work as the dent might be too deep in a small area (if you know what i mean)
-
Yea it is quite a deep dent, the bonnet is quite badly chiped as well, I might see if i can get hold of a new bonnet, it will probably work out cheeper in the end.
-
now the thing is, you aint gonna find anyone breaking a golf in that colour because you need a panel in that colour lol...happen to me, was looking for a new boot lid in white so i could replace my one, didnt find one and ended u sorting out the one i had, few days later i saw 2 white mk3's at the scrappy :angry: :grin: irony is such a b!tch :tongue:
-
What is the hair dryer trick? I think this could be useful?
-
see the youtube that i posted on page 2...its basically heating the metal and then cooling it off with compressed air
