turbodreams Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 ok want thoughts on this, i wanted a carbon bonnet, but sack that, their 500 quid. I have a white glanza, what would people think of a black bonnet, just basically respraying my white bonnet to black? Any suggestions of a shade and type of black would be good!

ste91 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My opinion - it looks poo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 As said ^^Would suit it if it had black wheels or other carbon bits but will just look rubbish and "out of place" IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattyCD Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 buy a carbon scoop, easily solution Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 What he said ^^Look at shelly's car for inspiration Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 dont spray, it would look kak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Agree with others, would look rubbish, and would look like you was trying to make it look like a carbon bonnnet.Although it did look awesome on Scutch's old N/A, but thats because he had black wheels and stuff.

A2KLAU Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I laugh out loud and preferably if the owner is there at their face when I see someone who "pretends" to have a CF bonnet. If I don't see the carbon weave I just give the driver the look of discust and cheapness.. so in my view, as everyone has already said, don't do it, simple as that. Don't lower your standards to chavs mate! its not worth it.. highly uncool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 As said don't do it. If you do we will all came to your house and steal your bonnet .Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean @RW-Developments Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 personally it depends on how the rest of the car is done out, my glanza bonnet has been black since day1 but should be getting a cf one, but i wouldnt paint a nice white bonnet black, id get a spare or carbon fibre one, im spraying my black bonnet 040 white when i get the cf one.

SiCaln Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 yea not even worth the effort mate tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbodreams Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 my mind is made up. lolHow would a Carbon fibre look? I dont see much glanzas with Carbon fibre bonnets, white ones anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 chalkboard black is cool.. draw pies on ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Loks awsome bud but I cant think of a white one off the top of my head at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep91face Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 if you look around the internet theres some tutorials on how to spray it to look carbon fibre using some mesh grey and black paint and a lot of lacquer, if your handy with a spray gun this could be for you.

WallaceGlanza Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 if you look around the internet theres some tutorials on how to spray it to look carbon fibre using some mesh grey and black paint and a lot of lacquer, if your handy with a spray gun this could be for you.Thats even worse than just spraying it black. Just save your pennies and get a real one later! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Sounds liek too much effort for the same effect as a black bonnet to me ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just save your pennies and get a real one later!how is it worse some people just want the aestethic look and not the lightweight..having seen results of the technique on the video it can come out almost perfect.
