Got it on the car on Saturday....i think its knight sports.  love it to bits... not sure what to do with a colour?:confused: leave it mat black to go with black yellow combo or spray yellow but then again who is going to match the colour oh may just sent it to Rixio\'s paint shop and you never know i may even win a trophy at next show...:Tongue1 :wiggle

Think Mazdaspeed did something like that???

It\'s always a pain in the arse to figure out the manufacturer as there are always 2 or 3 that make something very similar!!

It is definately a knight sports style bonnet.

If you are not changing the lights I would paint it yellow. The vents will contrast more.

I think the shape always looks unfinshed unless you have some sleek lights or so.

Thanks Russ

This is the look im trying to achieve if i do keep that bonnet:)

I dont think i will be able to obtain the same yellow colour as on my car if i do.  Although, its standard mazda yellow but it does have pearl effect in it that you can see in the sun.  The bonnet is always hard to spray as its on top or infront of the car and in your face straight away .

Yeah, it will look good, Bronze Yellow and Black

With sleek lights the shape works with black.

You can always strip the paint, buy a really thin sheet of carbon fibre, Add heaps of resin on top. Sand it smooth and ......

da daaaaaa

Its carbon.

Sleek with black for me too, looks more finished and sits well with the wing mirrors and black sidelight lenses. Go on Laeeq you know you want some H11 RE Amemiya lights!

HAHA.

If it doesn\'t owe you much, there\'s no shame in selling it.

Someone will finish it.

My old car was for sale on Ausrotary the other day. interesting to see what happens after you sell.

The guy started to mould a cwest bumper into the rear RE-Amemiya kit. Other things in life come up so he was selling again.
