dude Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 Argh Damn you all !!!! It will look better in the flesh when the bonnets painted black !!!!! At least it will be 1 of a kind as it seems no-one will copy it Dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 uncle ben will be proud of it. i not keen of it. would not a light weight bonnet with some custom cold air feeds be more an advantage? who cares what anyone thinks, as long as u like it. black bonnet is what i would like. people might think its a taxi its what you like that counts. you got it up and running for new season?

Guest Usmann A Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Nope, I love it John. Its real purposeful .... Now your getting all that nice cool air under the bonnet, wheres it gonna get out from, just pull the rubber seal behind the bonnet Dude, you know its best. Seriously tho, looks nice.

Trig Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Nice to see something different and if it helps a bit with getting air to the engine/turbo then go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Have the scoop, just flatten out the louvres dammit, only I am allowed those -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qaisar Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 preferred your old ab flug one, but if its gonna make a practical difference with extra cold air into the engine bay then suppose will be useful for the 1/4 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Its different but its one of those bonnets youll either love or hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Not my cup of vodka, but it looks different and very individual. Do you have to have your bonnet repainted if you have it louvred??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Not my cup of vodka, but it looks different and very individual. Do you have to have your bonnet repainted if you have it louvred??? Yes they have to remove all the paint around the louvres otherwise it splits . Ian The guy asked after your car , he has a pic of it on the wall there Thanks for the feed back guys , remember i HATE the stock bonnet without the UK scoop its too big an area of vast flatness !!!!!
