Red Bonnet? Black Bonnet?

[scottish-sr]

As some will know I bought Dusks black badboy bonnet for my car. I recieved it today and guess what... the paint has got damaged in transit which I am not happy about.

I just got off the phone to the local bodywork shop and he said it would be £120 for a respray, or £100 if i gave him my old bonnet.

Now the dilemma happens. Do I keep the bonnet black, or get it painted red.

The car should be getting black wheels at some point soon aswell.

Got a couple of pics of the bonnet on Dusks car which was red with black wheels and a pic of my car with standard red bonnet.

Thats a pricey spray, becuase the bonnet is already a new black wouldn't a touch up be easier?

I love Dusks SR with black bonnet with tinted light and black rims!!
Do it!

i think red personally, all colour coded looks alot better..

red but with the light brows

It would be the full thing getting sprayed I think. Im going to take it down later today to let them see it. Suprised everyone is actually going for red.

And me, maybe cause the pics of it on dusks are dark can't see how great it looked

I think black sometimes looks good, but it can look like you can't afford a carbon bonnet lol. I voted for red but either could look kool I think.

 

[goldstar0011]

see what you mean but seems to work with the red

 

[mean micra]

i voted black... it was a good buy being badboy'd in black works really well with your red car... i seriously would consider any other colour than black...

Go black IMO, tie in nicely with the black wheels, and make it stand out a bit more.

But i agree with the cheap CF thing..

please just get it red, u will look like an absolute muppet if you go black (my opinion only) black wheels look crap too in my opinion, there the most common thing ever now. A have always been against them like but still just stick with red, a guarantee you people will think your original bonnet has been damaged nhats why u have a black one on - unless its carbon fibre its pointless

 

[Yom]

Yep go a bodycolour bonnet. Only time you're allowed black bonnet is when its carbon fibre. Even then I'd paint it bodycolour purely to keep prying eyes away from it.

I voted yes.

I simply dont like the carbon style black bonet look.

 

[goldstar0011]

Oh well, majority rules
One concern is colour matching, a brand new red will not really match you wings unless you can really T cut them good

 

[goldstar0011]

I voted yes

Voted YES, to what?

Most people chose black or red but you can choose what you want

LOL

 

[benmicrasr]

I would go red, the whole car colour coded will look nice!

 

[scottish-sr]

i voted black... it was a good buy being badboy'd in black

You would think that.

Looks like people are saying keep it red, I will be doing that now anyway!

 

[Ian]

Taxi!!!

Keep it red mate. Only get a black bonnet if you have carbon, otherwise its just lame.

 

[Turtle]

Voted YES, to what?

Now thats a tony blair answer!

 

[Titch]
