Not having much luck finding one already made so looking down the route of getting my current bonnet made into one,

People who have had badboy bonnets made - how much did it cost you?

I realise each bodyshop will vary but would like an idea of how much I'm looking at before I go in and speak to them

Seeing as I presume your car is arden blue I would say around the £200 area would be about there

Very nice, did you leave the car with then so they could get the shape right around headlight or did you just drop the bonnet off?

Not sure Lexus lights will be making a comeback anytime soon, I've always thought badboy bonnets look though.

yes or it will look shit

blowing in colour and lacquer only sometimes work on small panel areas (ie thin D pillars or B pillars of cars for local repairs)

Anything being done you have to spray the whole thing, doing part of the bonnet is a no-no

First of all you need to locate one of these:


..Once located set the time-machine to 1999 and get her up to 88mph..

You should have no problem locating said bad-boy bonnet.

Why bother repainting whole thing. Why bother welding? Just use blue tach

But the question is do you colour code them or go for black?

Only Colour coded if on black cars, and even then only sometimes
