Got a cheap facelift bonnet, got a cheap facelift grille on it's way.
What to do though?
Paint the bonnet silver. Or leave it black, and paint the roof and bootlid?
How my car looked;
How it looks now;
Need to sort the side lights out, but, a little stuck paint wise.

I've had a black bonnet on a silver car for 18months now, I have to be honest and say I quite liked it to begin with but after some reflection I think I look like a Max Power twit...paint it

Good stuff. If you need any pointers securing it, let me know. I've had mine a few years now, they may have changed the design.
