zippypooz Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 ...The DE bonnet or the HR bonnet? I'm considering swapping my DE for HR...What's your preference guys n gals? Quote
brillomaster Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 DE, definitely. i really dislike the humped bonnet, spoils the lovely clean lines of the car. if the car was all angular and V8-ish, then fine - but part of the appeal of a zed is its gorgeous lines. Quote

Hmmm i think i sort of agree with you brillo Quote
spursmaddave Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Also putting an HR bonnet on a DE car is a bit like stuffing a sock down your pants, all for show and nothing to back it up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
LRF4N Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I thought I was the only one who preferred the DE bonnet 1 Quote
350zedd Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I don't agree with any of you...I think the HR bonnet looks ace and compliments the curves of the car !! 4 Quote

350zedd Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Buy the HR bonnet then put a couple of creases in it....sorted! 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I really like the HR bulge bonnet and would have definitely considered putting one on my DE Zed had one come up at a reasonable price. I don't think it looks out of place or ugly on a DE Zed at all, just different. 1 Quote
PPod Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 De winner for me just but wouldn't mind running the hr for a while to mix it up a bit. Both nice Quote
HiddenWomble Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Gotta be the HR bonnet for me, though I do like to know there is a good reason behind needing that bulge. I really like the way the main curve of the bonnet gets broken up, makes for a nice view from outside and also from the drivers seat 1 Quote
Jetpilot Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 De is fine, although the swange lines dont marry up to anything, so prefer the hr as I think it looks cleaner and more complimentry of the shape, curvy and round. Quote
Daryl Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 The HR bonnet harks back to bonnets of the old 240Z etc, so from that point of view its god to see on the car. Loads of people go for the HR bonnet, so the DE ones are getting rarer. I like the 2 creases in the DE bonnet, shame that Nissan never carried it over the roof, like the Crossfire 1 Quote

Does that mean I'll be ok as I'll have a V8 underneath 1 Quote
brillomaster Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 oh yeah, if you actually have a V8 under there i'll let you off! 1 Quote
KyleR Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 De is fine, although the swange lines dont marry up to anything, so prefer the hr as I think it looks cleaner and more complimentry of the shape, curvy and round. I was going to say the same, I've no idea what lines people are talking about Quote
zippypooz Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 Now im totally confused and in two minds although GM's photo looks pretty sexy!! Can anyone lend me their HR bonnet for the weekend? Preferably in gun metal!!?? Quote
Payco Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Graham and Tom have both made the switch and for what its worth I think it works. Save your money towards your GTR. Quote

MrE004 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I'm a fan of both, but really I think it's all DE for me. Quote
Bems Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Bulge for me. Apart from the fact it was necessary on the HR It harks back to zed's of old Quote
HAMLNJ Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I really like the HR bulge bonnet and would have definitely considered putting one on my DE Zed had one come up at a reasonable price. I don't think it looks out of place or ugly on a DE Zed at all, just different. whats the splitter on this? looks subtle. i like the HR bonnet, lots of socks for me! 1 Quote
