deffo illegal as its showing parts that are dangerous. such as hot rocker cover or moving parts



actually it might depend on the car etc as it would need to have the moving parts covered to protect anyone who may accidently touch them etc

Im sure there is supposed to be some sort of sheild between a pedestrians face and your engine block so im guessing if your car was fitted with a bonnet, then it must stay fitted.

i've driven my car on the road without a front bumper when i'd just fitted the engine, coppers were parked up just over the road from my house too (pulled a landrover) and they looked at me funny but never did or said anything. i'm pretty sure no bumper leaves far more dangerous sharp and sticky outy things exposed than no bonnet would, so i wouldn't expect to get any gyp for it? :)

its the fact the engine is boilin hot, all it takes is a kid to touch it, or one of the belts, and off comes a finger.

not only cos of dangers to others mate if you parked it somewhere and left the car so chav that would normally nick your ariel can mess with your shit inside bonet and make cr serrriously unsafe you go to drive off brakes fail you take out yourself and a loads of pedestrians sure the way all onnets only open from inside the car says it all
