   'done'? as in rusted? would be a piece of cake to do it to your own.
   
   get a wire brush/nitromors or somethin to remove the paint then spend a while hosing down the bare metal then let it dry, repeat over an over till your bored

    its all about cool points in the VAG scene. any other brand its just deemed shit by other owners, and the general public will just think its a wrecked car.
    all in all a waste of time, effort and money(when you decide to get a new bonnet or respray it)

    Maybe thats the whole point. The original poster (LT_TA) wants to be different?
    
    Why does everyone want everyone elses saxos to be clones of their own???

    Older cars gain the rat look much easier too I spunked all my money on the engine and suspension on my MG, the paintwork was acceptable when I bought it but 3 years down the line its cracked all over and has rust showing in a few areas. I dont mind it looking like that because the internals are all good and I drive the car dont look at it, I much prefer the natural looking rat look rather then ones that look forced especially on modern cars.

    I had bmw E36 which i rat looked .
    
    You cant buy panels Rusted (unless your a complete mug , which im sure your not)
    
    
    1st get nitro morse or any other product/item that will strip off your paint ,
    
    2nd get a small bottle of SEA SALT !!!
    
    3rd pour some sea salt onto your bonnet and sprinkle the bonnet with a hose
    
    4th keep repeating this for about 2weeks and your bonnet will be awesomly rusty
    
    5th Laquer it so it cant get any more rusty and it will look good

    rat look can look good but you've got to be committed. a shabby car with a rusty bonnet isn't a rat. nor is flakey unwashed paint with a few dents kicked into it.
    
    a real rat will be a bit of a sleeper. a rapid engine and a pin sharp chassis. money isn't spent on cosmetic tat cos it won't make you go any quicker. this is the essence of the rat.

    of course you cant buy it already done, thats like saying can i buy a heap of shit. Its not a good look in my opinion and for some people it seems they go down the route purely because they cannot be bothered to bring the car to a good standard......rant over.

    Rub the paint off your old bonnet using a highish grit sandpaper then pour water all over it or leave it in a pool or something for a while, when it has rusted up leave it to dry then laquer over the top

    bloody hell, he's only asking! If thats what the kid wants to do fair play let him do it.
    If it isn't the same as everyone elses its shit. I dont like rat look but thats not the point.
    Leave him to it lol
    
    just strip the paint back and get lotsa water on it, soon rust up a treat, youll pick a bonnet up for a few quid at a scrappy mate

    personally think rat look only looks good on "VW's", they were one of the originals to do this theme and i think it should stay like that... rat look on a saxo is a no no
