I personnally am not a fan of the bonnet.

Its a brand new bonnect from ford in transit paint. Hes painted the outsides back in white and wire brushed the transit paint with a drill wire brush thing, but not so its back to the metal. then its been laquered.

pritty cool affect tho.

Nice car with a peculiar looking bonnet which is not to my taste. Especially with the white bonnet vents.

Nooooooo, what a thing to do to an ice white RS.
Bonnet is yuk in my opinion.......but hey, each to their own......

Makes it look somehow 'cheap'. Didn't like the green one in FF either with the carbon bonnet, then re-inserted green vents.

Looking at this in more detail, the bonnet appears to be a shop?

Take the sticker off the boot, its not a Corsa!

Bonnet look alright, but maybe it should have been the other way round i.e. black vents, white bonnet.

No, its a bonnet, THIS is a shop:


That is definately a real bonnet, on a real car, in a picture taken with a real camera and not messed with since.



Looks awful Mike, I see what you meant about the roughed up standard black panel paint now mate!

He needs a slap up the side of the head, thank heavens he kept the standard parts!

Sorry, oh the ever so font of knowledge that is Sir Chip...

The fact the painted edges of the bonnet and front 'tash' trim are such a different colour it gave it that apperance. The colour match is worse that the side skirts on my own Ultimate green car All IMO of course.

Either way it looks wank...

Looks good, but like others have said i think it would look ten times better with the standard bonnet on it!
