badboy bonnet

[The_STIG]

is this possible on the facelift model and does ne 1 think it will look good

[Sean]

yes it's possible. it's your car mate, up to you if it looks good or not smileys/smiley17.gif
personally i'd prefer to spend the money on quads or smoked headlamps rather than a bad boy bonnet as it may look out of place unless you plan on fitting a bodykit.

badboy only looks good on totally smoothed bonnets i reckon



you could always go down the cheaper route - and get some light eyebrows, give the same kinda effect

I agree about it only looking good on completely smooth bonnets and I also think you do need a full kit to match with it. I wouldnt put it on a standard saxo. I like them though. Off topic I know but what kind of paint is on that saxo?

does anyone know a cheap place where i could get a badboy bonnet for a mk1 vtr? or do the mk1 and mk2 bonnets all fit the same?

yeah but light brows look a bit tacky dont you think?
a full bonnet is a lot classier.
i reckon light brows are the cheap chavvy way
but thats just me!

I agree about the light brows, look dodgy.
As for the mk1 bad boy bonnet it would be best to get one made up now I think unless you manage to get hold of a Procomp bad boy bonnet (good luck, lol). THe mk2 bonnet will fit but wont close, lol.

[spencer_cammedvts]

how come?
is the bonnet latch in a different place then or is there something that the bonnet will pivot on that will prevent the catch from reaching its hook up point?

[grantsmith1985]

It wont close becasue of the shape of the top front grill. I have seen a mk1 with a mk2 bonnet before, I think it just involved a small amount of work on the front end to get it one and sit flush over the lights.

[spencer_cammedvts]

what would you class as a small amount of work?
and what would need the work the bonnet or parts of the front of the car?
cheers

anyone elso know what would have to be done?

[grantsmith1985]

Not sure what would have to be done but do you mean like this, I dont like the look of it tbh.

See what I mean, it just looks odd.

[spencer_cammedvts]

yer your rite it does look a bit odd.
i was just looking for something that would change the shape of the shite front lights without buying those tacky light brows
there are a couple of bonnets on the site for a mk1 that look pretty ace they just come down about halfway over the grill but in a similar shape to the mk 2 bonnet

[grantsmith1985]

I think you a describing the bad boy bonnet similar to what procomp done. Get a pic and a descent body shop would be able to do the work for you.

[spencer_cammedvts]

kool!
cheers for that!

[Tony.]

slightly off topic and a basic Q i guess, but with a smoothed mk2 bonnet, how do you actually open the bonnet as the annoying catch (which makes my mesh look daft with that stupid hole in it) will not be get-at-able? smileys/smiley5.gif

[peebee]

ud have to buy a solanoid kit for it im guessing.
