Chilli Red Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I will ask Gaz to have a look around Monday and see what comparatives of better quality there are Sarah Quote
YHTM Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I've been looking for a different bonnet for ages - not particularly bothered whether it's carbon as will paint it black. I know what I want, two chromed vents like the Merc slk amg. Any ideas?? Quote

The first car I remember my dad had was a Humber Super Snipe - when you grow up cleaning the chrome on that it's really hard to shake off the need!! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 you mean one of these babies? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... es_III.jpg Quote
YHTM Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 you mean one of these babies? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... es_III.jpg That's it - a fantastic car. Massively thick and comfortable leather seats, walnut everywhere inside. I used to sit in the front passenger seat aiming and launching torpedoes from the huge front wing! My job was to clean all that chrome!!!! Quote

Gaz Walker Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Hi guys, hi its actually the veilside v3 style carbon bonnet im after, but i know veilside's carbon is not great quality so i was looking for a better quality replica, i.e. the one on this site: http://www.carbon-designs.co.uk/index.p ... =90&pid=36 unless i can find any other designs i like. From what I can see there's only one company that produces these although there is a few dealers selling them, so the quality will be the same from anyone. We can also source if you like I've been looking for a different bonnet for ages - not particularly bothered whether it's carbon as will paint it black. I know what I want, two chromed vents like the Merc slk amg. Any ideas?? You would definitely have to paint the vents yourself as I've not seen a bonnet like that, easy enough to do though. Have you a seen a vent design you like? Best Regards, Gaz Quote
