I like the bonnet and scoop. Carbon on white also looks ace.

However if the colour is putting you off at all, paint it body colour.

Carbon parts painted body colour are uber cool. Lightweight and subtle, best of both worlds then.

Either way, I'm sure the car will look great when it's all done and fresh.

Paint it i reckon.
If you had a front mount i would of opted for a bonnet without the middle vent, it just looks wrong imo.

I like it and although the scoop isn't great it's better than the old one It'll look great when it's all finished, you can't really get a good idea when it looks like that.

Bonnet looks ok but the scoop looks like its just been placed on top and needs blending in or something.
