   ....On what colour to get my bonnet done.
   
   Here is my car
   
   
   
   As you can see the bonnet is gash! and the spray job on it is worse than crap. It takes the expression orange peel to a whole new level of crap and I hate it it ruins the car!
   
   Sooooo I have it booked into the bodyshop to have the bonnet re-sprayed but I can't decide the colour.
   
   My Options are just to get it done in Posi blue which'll make it look all standard(ish) and shiny etc
   
   Or after seeing this:
   
   
   Gloss black!
   
   I really can't decide so what do you peeps think?
   
   Thanks all in advance

   I like it all black bonnet. Although it IS copying, but the standard is too boring. Go for it ;D
   
   Btw what the fook is that behind you in the first pic. If you really want to make your rise look the bollocks, keep driving around with him!

   Do what I've done with mine... Carbon fibre with a thin layer of body coloured paint so it sinks onto the weave.
   
   Body coloured and you can still see it's carbon. Best of both worlds

   Blue.
   
   Black makes it look like you have had a prang & not repainted the fresh bonnet!

   Really wish I could afford carbon Fibre but I can't at the moment. Maybe towards the end of next year.

   Thats my brothers old car. Haha it was kick ass because we loved it but didn't care about it if you see what i mean. It took some abuse but kept bouncing back for more. We had an 90/80 lowering kit to go on but he sold it to go on holiday before we got a chance to do it.

    Hmmm TBH thats pretty similar to what I've already got and doesn't look to bad when done like that!
    
    Think I'm swaying towards Gloss black. Least I won't look like all the other Posi Saxo's on Black VTS rims haha. Then I need to get my chekers on the roof and get my wheels powdercoated.
    
    Thanks for opions keep them and inspirational pictures coming!

    imo it looks like you couldnt afford a carbon bonnet or havent got the money to get it sprayed the same colour as your car, so its a no for me
