flux Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi,What are peoples opinions on a carbon bonnet on a black ep82?I know the black bonnet looks great on a red or white car but on a black car does it just look like a bad respray from a distance?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Well here's Toymota's!Personally I think it looks pretty damn good! But I have seen a Focus from around my way that had metallic black paint but a CF bonnet and wings and from a distance it did look pretty dodgy looking!But who cares as long as YOU know it's CF then it's cool If I had a spare £450 lying around I'd have one -- but I've got nice gauges and some other electronic goodies to get for mine first before much gets spent on styling!

stan_the_man Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 give the bonnet a good coat of lacquer and a good polish and its should blend in better.as long as the rest of that car is kept polished too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 looks awsome in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 When toymota said she was getting one i was like.......on a black car But then when she put pics of her car up with it on, it did look sweet!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 i have to admit, sas much as it pains me to say it yea, its a pretty sorted glanzaid like to think mines looks better but in all honesty emz is more complete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I dont know that i'd personally agree with u there Bossman, as u know both me and my bro think your V is agressive as hell! I prefer your front end with your splitter and your speedlines have set your whole car off an absolute TREAT!however, if your interior is anything like the state it was in at JAE u may need to dig a hoover out!!! Ony messin!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Love that car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Can I ask you what percentage your front number plate is reduced Toymota? I'm needing to get a reduced one so I can get some more flow through my FMIC. A touch bigger than yours would prob keep me from being pulled by the coppers round here!

Sparky Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Looks like a 12"x3" to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Toymota* Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 well, being female, i dont really get looked at by the police. the reg on the back is the same size as the front too hehe. i got the reg done at JAE and i cant remember the size of it but ill measure it for you an let you know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Toymota* Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 i got the writing in carbon fibre to match the bonnet too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Screwed on....very slag lol AND im on about the car lol so dont take it the wrong way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Well I'm at the understanding that the letters have to be of legal size (but my mate has a 75% size plate and it still looks legal) but you can cut it down to as close to the letters/numbers as you want! So I was gonna try keep the reg as big as possible then cut it down as close as I could? Something along the lines of this... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Toymota* Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 that looks nice! i like small reg's, they look better.ive been told i should get mine in sticker form on the bonnet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 No no no no no no i prefer it the way u have it now emz!!!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
