Keep or remove Abflug slogan

[pf85]

My Supra has an Abflug bonnet and the slogan is lacquered over but now that I am going to be repainting it again in the same colour, I have a choice to make - get the slogan reapplied again to it, probably on top of the lacquer this time or else just keep it plain and not apply it.

What do you guys think??

I'd go for plain 

[jim_supra]

I'd definitely remove it

[Spike3.0]

Remove 100%

Old skool - keep

Modern times - get rid off

It has to go

Source a stock bonnet and have it painted so you have the choice?

Thanks for the replies so far. I dont want to go back to stock as I really like the Abflug look.

Also toying with removing the gold pin locks and replacing then with more modern looking black or carbon fibre latches

I can recommend using button catches. I removed my OEM bonnet catches. One was sticking, causing repeated cracking on my old fibreglass bonnet. Not wanting to faff with that anymore. Swapped to these. I was originally going to use the large oval type which I had purchased. But felt these were a bit nicer. 

More effort granted but think the end result is worth it.

That looks tidy! I love the flush look of it almost oem looking if you didn't know. I'd be afraid of someone pressing them when I'm parked up somewhere and then driving along not knowing it isn't properly locked down

I thought about this too.

I connected the pull catch to the central lift mechanism, and moved the mechanism down slightly. Meaning I use the central catch to keep the bonnet locked.

Pushing the pins won't do anything, unless the bonnet pull has been unhooked!
