I think he means that in his opinion more black on the graphics/bodywork would make the graphics you already have look better. Although thats his opinion obviously.

Did you solve the bonnet problem with the lamp pod??? Did you fit just the skin or some frame work underneath too??

Looks the same bonnet as mine and im pretty sure the pod isnt contoured for that bonnet but the standard puma bonnet (unless youve modified it of course).

You could consider a performancetrim carbon one which should be strong enough.

a/ all he had to do was reply and explain i wasnt going to bite his head off

the pod fits the bonnet perfectly ,but the bonnet just isnt strong enough for it ,its a steel frame with fibre glass skin, and to be honest i dont really want it on there now

You could consider a performancetrim carbon one which should be strong enough.
with other projects and mods on the go my funds wont strech to a carbon bonnet lol

I want to ditch my F2 bonnet as it wieghs a ton as theyve cut out only about half the steel skin then bonded the fibreglass on top
