Title: Bonnet Vinyl.....please vote. Pictures included...
Post by: WhiteGTI on 06 December 2008, 10:26
Vote above!!  :smiley:

Im not doing the whole bonnet, just the 'V' in the middle. Here are my options:

1)  Follow the two creases either side of the bonnet up, HOWEVER...this won't match with the lines created by the glossy black front grille (i.e. the creases start about 2cm wider than the gloss black of the grille) Look at your cars to understand this I guess!

2)  Ignore the creases in the bonnet and just vinyl it according to the line of the gloss black grille.

I hope I've made myself clear here, its really hard to explain!

You can kind of see from the below photo what I mean regarding the lines of the bonnet and the front glossy black part.

Please don't post comments saying dont do this etc etc etc. I'll just ask for them to be removed..

I just want constructive comments as to what option looks better. I completely understand that this won't be to the liking of most of you, but ETTO I guess!!! For those that do have an opinion on it, i would really value your input  :smiley: :smiley:

Below are some photos that give you an idea of both options....

Hmmmmmm.... I'm not really a fan of vinyl because it looks tacky most of the time.  However, some of those in the photos look quite good  :cool:

If you're going to do this to your car then I would ignore the crease of the bonnet and follow the line of the gloss black part of the grill.

Those pics where the owners have gone with the crease in the bonnet just look gash.

Yeah your kind of right really.
