well i appreciate it very much :D , i just want u guys 2 give me an honest opinion wen i get the pics of the black bonnet coz i want 2 be different and stand out but i dnt want it 2 b tacky, if the bonnet looks ok 2u guys, ill b sprayin the mirrors 2 match it an give the car the look it needs as the bonnet is a large part an with it being a diff colour, changes the whole look so it has 2 work... i need jay on here or sum1 thats good wit photoshop, jay has a cool pic of his car which he changed the colour, if u read this jay cud u paint the bonnet black, plus the mirrors an let me see..?

if you are going for a carbon fibre look get that film that rrlivi was talking about would look 100 times better rather than someone who cant be bothered to colour code their bonnet....will check back for pics

ace man, nice looking indicators ;) :lol:


i think you should get it sprayed red again, no point in driving about in a black bonnet [thats just bare metal] looking like you have crashed

I saw a pic of a golf at the GTI show that had a black bonnet roof and boot. That looked good. So unless you wanna paint al that too, i dont recomend ahving a black bonnet. I say nothing but the word naff :wink:

Chris,

i'ld have to second that. i think a black bonnet would only work on a car with alot more mods, like said, black roof, maybe black wheels too could work.


i also think you sould fully tint your indicators
