I wanted to like the bonnet, but not sure on that one Jimmy, just doesn't fit in with such a well looked after and smooth / freshly painted car!

Old rotten corsa van it would work!

Now get it swapped back over

Keep it up Jimmy

Yeah there usually is, but if i spot weld it, then flatten it with a sanding pad on a grinder, it'll be smooth ish

Could do a badboy and extended bonnet with no filler at all. It would be expensive though as there is a lot more work involved and not many people would pay for it.

I have to say jimmy, it looks better than what I thought it would, although i still prefer it with the original bonnet on.

roof rack doesn't look toooo bad either.

thats stunning mate, i agree with the changing colour of the wheels to a orangy colour but then again i think it would be too much

Roof rack doesn't suit the look. I aitn keen on the look, but the bonnet would work better with roof rack with wood slats on....

i think the roof rack needs wooden slats instead of metal bars. But it looks good
