Guess who lives right next door to this lot :happy2:, and you answered my respray querry Robin. Bonnet wrap in CF is the answer i think. Red Ed30 with CF Wrap... Should look fab judging by those photos Robin.

bonnet wrap for yourself?  :confused:
sort out an annoying stone chip issue i have mate :wink:

Found something for you but the wheels and front are different. The point is that the VWR carbonfibre is less glossy and much closer to the vinyl's appearance.



If she's adamant, that's frankly somewhat unfair - She's made up her mind before seeing it! Durley is local to you so what's the problem? Pics aren't really going to show you what it's like unless they are of a red Ed30 with a Raccoon carbon vinyl bonnet!

....Yes, OSIR offer one - Check their website. It looks a bit 'brown' though. An expensive option! Especially currently.

I cant show her that picture Robin as that red looks 3 different colours!!. Either bad exposure or dirty  :sad:
Ill convince her to come along, but at the moment, all im getting out of her is "Oh do what you want...." in the doghouse look.  :sad:

Lol Robin. Would be interesting!!. She just thinks its a Red car and putting a grey/black bonnet would look odd.
She'd rather me spend £500 on a respray then under half that on a great idea for a carbon fibre Wrap!! FFS!  :mad:

....That's because Steve's missus is called Norton :evilgrin:

....Methinks that Steve is going to be extremely happy if he manages to do just the bonnet.

phil, your car will look like it has an aftermarket bonnet on a std car, may look a little strange.  :smiley:
