getting my bonnet and grill back today as it's all been finished

 

[tab]

it's here gonna hopefully fit it tommorow morning (weather permiting)
got to swap my washer jets over as the guy that sprayed it lost them

 

[tab]

at last me and my dad fitted the bonnet and grill today, after a bit of drilling, pushing/pulling and a lot of swearing this is the outcome.......

the paint's a bit darker than the rest of the car but i can live with that.

 

[Ben]

well fitted my son

hate changing bonnets - can be a fine art getting them to sit level with the lights while trying to maintain a decent panel gap

 

[tab]

tell me about it, a lot of opening/closing and adjusting the bolts.
went through 3 drill bits aswell.

You'll never get stuff like that perfect, to make the bonnet look less "new" you would have to sray in the top half of the wings!

Looks good mate

 

[tab]

do you still want my old one phil?

 

[Alex]

Have edited you tread title mate, hope you don't mind

 

[tab]

whaaat!! how dare you!.....















only joking alex cheers i was trying to change it last night but realised it's probably got to be done by admin.

 

[Alex]

yeah think it is an admin/staff only thing

 

[Ben]

tell me about it, a lot of opening/closing and adjusting the bolts.

eek!

3 drill bits is a bit harsh!

at least its on and out the way matey. one less thing to worry about

 

[Rich]

Does look good mate, althou not keen on the centre buldge.

 

[tab]

yeah i wasn't sure about it when i brought it but i couldn't turn it down for £30. i was having trouble trying to find a standard gsi bonnet so i snapped it up, it does help keep the engine a bit cooler.

 

[Ben]

at £30 you can't complain really

 

[Paul]

looks good. how much did they charge to do the bonnet?
