nfbr Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) polishing the bonnet will soon become one of those things you have to get up early for every day... Like walking a dog... or as tigz will soon find out, having a child style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Could you not have like... a giant full bonnet bra made up for getting it to the show so that 1 - it stays clean, 2 - it doesnt blind everyone style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Edited August 16, 2005 by nfbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 why cant you lacquer it? I am not very up on paint effects.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 i'd imagine it'd run too easily with it being such a smooth surface... cos if you think about it, you've gotta flat metalic paint back a bit before you lacquer it so it'll key properly.

Tigz™ Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 It'll also dull the Alu so make the effort in polishing it seem a little pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Who cares if someone modding a diffrent style car also thought it was cool.Ignoreing the ones all copying each other, with the same kits, and lights.There is some quality modded cars on the road, that are not in the VW style.I wouldn't want to drive a Hotrod, but I like some of there ideas.This one the most.Wouldn't fancy keeping this clean either!!!Showed the lads at work today.Totally amazed.

zippy Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Mitch, I've just read through this thread (late I know!).Have to say, I'm really impressed with your ideas.That's what modifying a car is about to me - new ideas like youre that cost very little & make a huge difference.And the fact you do all the work yourself must be so satisfying!Good work man!
