   has anybody attempted this on a saxo?
   
   had it done on my old almera gti and looked good. not sure if it will suit a saxo though might pop out and try it if nobody else has done it. only takes 1/2hour todo
   
   just wondering if it will have any implecations on the bonnet closing?
   
   as its 5mm-10mm washer under the hinges of the bonnet so it sits up.
   
   its really a jap thing for cooling engines but just wondering what anybody would think it would look like

   Is this where you make the bonnet look like it doesn't fit properly? I can understand if it's on a big power car that needs to shift the air, otherwise it just looks like you've put the bonnet on with your eyes closed.
