As above really maybe smooth over the grill opening instead of the OE or Dimma grill. Looks pure class mate.
Apart from that just put it back together, dont forget the smoked headlights tho :y:

Not a fan of the bonnet I must say but, good progress mate
VTS_16v_Boy
3rd April 2007, 09:45
Undecided on the bonnet on a standard sax it might draw the eye too much but with a change of bumpers to aftermarket items it could work.
Good luck and hope to see the finish item :y:
Hopcraft
3rd April 2007, 11:10
fair play rebuilding it, you will learn a lot. should get it lowered while its off the road, 50/60 id say, lights are looking good, dunno about the bonnet though. keep it subtle ;)

Maybe with a big set of wheels and maybe some slightly bigger side-skirts to beef up the look of the car to match the bonnet then it might look ok, but Im sorry the mesh just doesnt look rite ok.
Like I said though might be worth tryin to now beef up the rest of the car to match the front

Why you changing now?
If you liked the bonnet, don't let everyone else dictate what your car should look like

correct, it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks its your car!

I think the bonnet could look pretty good but needs some better black mesh instead of that shaped stuff... Looks nice in general though :)
Don't change you car to suit other peoples opinions... You do what you want mate :)

Not Bad like the painted Wheels i was thinking of going white with mine but you may have swayed me with black now :P
Kerryc
18th February 2009, 22:07
Loving the all black look and the angel eyes, the bonnet doesnt do it for me though just reminds me of show cars, but the rest is pretty much spot on...but tbh its your car, you shouldnt really care what others think, your style is the best style for you
