Little update, purchased a cheap bonnet bra off club polo it's mint and all for £30 so had to have it..

Image

Will be sending the bra to my trimmer to be made in red just for shows I think....

Wheels are undergoing some final touches ATM, still playing with the idea off painting the whole centre silver or crinkle black as the alloys are Pretty scuffed and I want them perfect....

Any suggestions??? Colour wise...

Looking good mate :)

They look alright in the summer and serve a good purpose so you cant go wrong for 30 notes.
I think i'll be investing in one too when I get my bonnet resprayed

Yeah I had to have it and it's an autobra one so is pretty good.

Gona change howits fixed like under the hood as it's dead messy but works I suppose...

I have a soft spot aswell, and a must for resprayed bonnets....

Im liking the bonnet bra :) I think they look good.

Im trying to find one for mine but i have a debadged front grille so i dont want the bra to go into the little indent in the bonnet. Anyone know if i can get one that goes straight across the bonnet? Or if a 6n one will fit my 6n2?

Nice update fella, its looking awesome :)

Liking the wheels too, what are you going to do with the Alulines?

I still reckon you get the splitter done in Gloss Black though 8)

Cheers for the comments but gloss black splitter???? Noway hosay, would look horrible and make the front end short if ya know what I mean...

Silver all the way.

I think the front end looks no different or busy just a bra for winter use and I'm loosing it when I get it trimmed in my red leather for shows only... :)

Wheels in progress are going body colour centre la7w silver with just one spoke being sticker bombed.... With a polished lip and back edge of the lip being polished aswell......

Might loose the tow hook for a smaller solid metal one perhaps.....
Or it all together...
