3, can someone colour my bonnet red? I can\'t decide whether to leave it black when i get the rest of the car sprayed in red.

Hi mate,

sweet motor, a GT wing will complte the car IMHO.  Can i ask where did you get the flush bonnet pins from?

Cheers

Hi mate,

Thanks for the comment,

Never been a fan of the gt wing on an FD. I know what you mean as it would give it a more aggresive look but I prefer something that keeps the nice smooth lines..

The bonnet pins came with the bonnet, if you contact John (jetpilot) he might be able to help you.

Cheers

Is it carbon fibre...the bonnet?

If not, i think i would paint it red, if it is, then leave it......of course all IMHO :)

Its not carbon fibre unfortunatley. I was originally going to paint it red as im getting the whole car resprayed, but the more i look at it (and thats quite a lot! :p ) the more i think it looks nice with a black bonnet...

It looks fine mate, i have a black car with carbon fibre bonnet in its origional colour.   It does look different  and thats what you wanna be :cool

Cheers mate

Decisions decisions....:confused:

Looks great in Black.

Thanks Graham!

I think i should have done a pole on this question... :) :rolleyes:

If they\'re the locking flush pins then you are after the "GE66" Grayston bonnet locking pins which i think you can only buy from (or at least only place i could find) http://www.speedshack.co.uk (http://www.speedshack.co.uk)  & can be seen on http://www.graystonengineering.com/lock%20assembled%20main.htm (http://www.graystonengineering.com/lock%20assembled%20main.htm)
Quick google you maybe able to get from http://www.ears.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Boot___Bonnet_Springs___Fasteners_87.html (http://www.ears.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Boot___Bonnet_Springs___Fasteners_87.html)  also
Si

PS do you reckon i should turn professional?

Leave it black bud.  Looks great!  :)

Agreed, looks perfect as it is! :)

If your paint job is gonna be any thing like Si\'s then leave it black bro!!!

You been smilied too:(   So sorry you had to go through thiis:(

However i reckon the black sticks out too much perhaps a different shade of something??? then again if you tinted your windows black it would look well smart??

What you think?:confused:

Gurj:wave

Hi Guys,

AHHHHHH Si what have you done to my car! (faints and hits the floor) :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Thanks Si, it was erm a valiant attempt but its not quite what i was looking for.. :p

Gurj - I never thought about window tinting....mmm something else for me to think about, mind you i need anything to take my mind off my scoobi si paint job!

Cheers

Donato

Looks really nice with the black bonnet,

also love the front bumper , nice shape to it.

Cheers Nath,

The idea of keeping the bonnet black is becoming more and more appealing... I have got a month or so to decide before i get it painted so i will probably changed my mind about ten times! :rolleyes:


Its a Re Amemyia front bumper.

Cheers

Donato

yer all philesteins :p lol
Si (an arteest mostly of the piss nature :rollin )

Dont give up yer day job there scooban!!!!:rollin :rollin :rollin

But the smiliey ??? good god man you canna be serious???:confused:

Never mind Scoob, I think Gurj is just being harsh :D

I can see what you were thinking with the new look.  

Perhaps you could try the next re-spray tho with a confused smiley :confused:  :cool

i\'ll see what i can manage by santa pod on the 10th (http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/aktion/action-smiley-006.gif)

Hi Donato,

Looks cool in black, the same happened when i test fitted my bonnet, always planned to paint it silver but once it was on thought it looked great in black :)

Hi Mate,

Think i will be keeping it black for a while as i need to save the pennies to get the rest of the car sprayed. I will see then..

I do like the silver and black that looks cool...

Cheers

Donato

I saw your look a like on saturday..... except he had a tall GT-Wing. I thought it was you till he passed me.

I like it with the black bonnet.

Seems to be more and more FD\'s running around scotland, i have seen a blue one running around edinburgh, not had a chance to speak to the guy yet...

My girlfriend wants me to paint the whole thing black. What you want and what you get are two entirly different things...;)

So how about a poll then?

a) paint it black
b) nah, red or dead baby!
c) dont care, never want to see that feckin car gain unless Bob or Rob tear the stereo out of it first, or Donato stays overnight \'off campus\' next year...

:D:rollin

Don,
A lot depends on how much you want to stand out,  a black bonnet is Very noticable and you will spotted a mile off. If you dont like too much attention then paint it.

It will look good either way!

:rollin :rollin

Go for it! (i have no idea how to post a poll...

Hmmmm inspiration required it seems, listen to this Hippy:

respray entire car purple, then do the bonnet in candy apple purple..... OH YEA BABY!!!! can you feel it ????:rollin :rollin :rollin

Purple is actually one of my favourites, the first Rx7 i wanted to buy was purple but someone got there before me...

Only problem with painting the car is im a collars and cuffs kinda guy, i dont want a purple car and a red engine bay...

sweet looking motor, I\'d keep the bonnet black.

out of interest, is that an recast or original? Looks well fitted.

Hi Freddy,

To be honest i don\'t know how to tell the difference.

It took a little while to get it to fit right, i still have a little adjusting to do but all in all it seems to fit nicely.

Cheers

Donato

I think the car looks better with a red bonnet, if you want to change the colour but are worried about there being a different colour under the bonnet you could get under the hood painted black.

what bonnet is that an amemiya replica isnt it?? looks sick im gona get one!! i think its too black but looks flash gona do photoshop now for yaz

let me know where that binnet\'s from and how much

Its a Scoot bonnet mate.

As for the price i bought it second hand, im sure people on the forum will be able to tell you how much they are new. They ain\'t cheap, i know that!

Paint it red. Bonnets look ok a different colour when they are CF, but i think a bit tacky up close when it just painted. IMO.

heres a quik 5 minute jobby for ya to feast ur googlies on...it was kinda hard getting the rite colour cosa the rain and sunshine reflectin but its only a quik job to giv u an idea

Brilliant mate! Thanks for that.

THATS IT DECIDED, ITS GOING RED!

Heres a better one.

Thanks mate, thats confirmed it! Did you get my PM?

yeh looks sweet red im gona get same bonnet aswell i think looks mad my cars same colour too! whered u get it from and how much was it m8!!! jackal wat program u use to do the pic m8 its done really well!

I bought mine second hand from a guy here who had it on ebay. I don\'t know where you can get them from. Try Dragon (weblink below)
I think they can get them...

Cheers mate

Work done in Photoshop.

Cheers.

that in red makes that front bumper look beutifull.

Also \'quick and dirty\' I\'m afraid - does it help?  Tell her you can\'t paint it black - you\'d have to take it to bits again.
