Default Bad Boy Bonnet??

Hi, can anyone tell me how you make a bad boy bonnet?
ive been searching the internet trying to find some eyebrows or plates to weld onto my bonnet, but cant seem to find anything Do you have to weld it on there yourself out of tin and filler it or is there another way????

Cheers Harry

as said above, its a very 90's thing to do mate. it dates the car horribly they just look tacky now.

or at the very least look on ebay for one already done.

I'm not a fan but if you like them fair play, look on the bay for one or just grab a welder, grinder, some metal, and some filler, away you go!!

thanks for replies, not doing it out of choice really, wanted to keep it as standard as possible, but the bonnet on it has had a smack and i was finding it hard to get a new one, ordered a brand new one off ebay and they kept turning up damaged, so a mate of a mate has got one, but he has started making a bad boy bonnet but its not finished, so im trying to find out how to finish it!!

cheers Harry

Just a few bits of metal cut and welded in and filler to smooth the top over ,one thing i have noticed with them you have to have your headlamps wound right in the middle other wise they touch the bonnet (please note i have never fitted one to my cars lol) ,best bet if you still want one is to get a spare bonnet and do it to that
