havea chat to them mate, i was asking baz and he said he wouldnt do it, basically it may start to crack over time, iopening and closing the bonnet causes it

id ask about ng it done in metal, a decent panel beater should be able to do this, its the only way i would do it tbh

the bonnet tends to flex quite a bit when opening and closing so you would need to be very careful for it not to crack.

i was asking about it when was booking car in for bodyshop and he said it would crack over time and to much hassle for what its worth

i like this look to sure it would be better to just buy a new bonnet thats made without the grill like the cf ones or somet

clouds (which i belive is the one you ona trout was a one off or forking rare)

tbh i just want it done, so that i can get someone to make a CF version of it, as a friend has just had a CF bonnet made using his bonnet as a template/mould....
