    I am going with the euro theme but want to change look of the bonnet so it goes just over the edge of the lights and over the grille slightly!!!
    If you get me??? where have people got this kind of thing done? I have seen a fibreglass one on ebay!! 117 but then i have to pay for spraying getting everything fitted on it, stay and catch!!!
    this is the one i found on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAXO-MK1-FIBRE...em190056256472

    Most decent bodyshops should be able to do it for you.
    It involves welding a plate to the front lip and using fibreglass and filler to shape. About 20 hours work top

    Depends if you're having other work done on the car as well. If you're getting other bits smoothed or painted it would be worth striking a deal with the bodyshop

    I had a full respray, inside and out, loads of one off mods done on my car and cost about £1300. Not sure how much the going hourly rate is but they did a spot on job!

    I would personally pay a bit more and know that the work done is as I want it, especially with custom touches like the bonnet!
