Under Bonnet Show Offs.....
« on: 12 May 2005, 20:52 »
 right to all those who fall into the catagorey above, with all your shiney twinkley betis and fancey rubbery bits etc, hows about a nice clear perspex bonnet to show off what your running when your at shows/racing etc,

As soon as i get my hands on a new mk2 16v project ill be knocking up a prototype, (which will be a hell of a lot lighter than the standard mk2 bonnet!), these fir fit to your original hinges, but you will need some 'rally' style bonnet clips fitting to the front to hold it down if you intend to race/use on road etc, unless i can make some kind of knuckle to fit into the existing bonnet stay.

should have one made in a week or 2 once ive got and started to strip/lighten the car, so watch this space, will also be able to make for mk1's , but i might need to borrow some ones bonnets for a size up, unless i can get my hands on the correct heat bending stuff mk3/4/5's are a no go at the mo but you never know....

 :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

oh yeah prices, £45 ish (yet to be decided) plus p+p

 :laugh:

^^ serious? are you talking hotrod style here? i think it could be funny at a show to pop one on, but i don't think i'd drive around with one on. be interested to see how it comes out.

Can everyone start posting pics of their engines so we can all see what could be shown?

Heres mine, not much at the moment but soon to be allot shinier when the polished manifolds etc etc go on.
