Right so I want for get my bonnet re sprayed because stone chips are unreal from previous owner! So I got a quote to re spray it red again £140 or I had the choice to go for a Matt black plastidip £70 I've decided to go for the Matt black to change the looks a bit. I haven't had it done yet getting it done along with my front bumper but the front bumpers going back red obviously as it got a Lil bump because I was on my phone in traffic 🙄.

Just asking for opinions on the bonnet being marry black really??!!?? 😬

Cheers guys!!

I personally like the look of black bonnets, especially on red cars. The plastidip option is a matter of opinion. You won't know for sure until you try it!

If you do plan to plastidip though, I would suggest doing that yourself. Easy enough if you follow some of the youtube tutorials

Yeah I like the look of the black bonnet to from what I've seen. Unfortunately I haven't got time to Do the plastidip my self as I'm always working. Can I ask also what a your opinion on putting mods on your insurance if so what insurance company is the best. This is my first car so insurance is nearly 2000. I've seen a topic on here called prestige are they any good ??

only looks right on old yank muscle cars imo , on modern stuff it just looks like you crashed and cant afford to paint the replacement bonnet

I do agree to an extent. If it is obvious the car was meant to look that way, I do sometimes like it. Depends on the car...

To be honest, if you don't tell them, you're screwed if you crash. If you tell them, you're screwed in your bank account.

I knew a guy at college who had a Saxo VTS that was modded to holy hell and kept quiet about it. He had a minor crash and had to get the insurance involved. He got home and swapped everything back.

Take from that what you will

Thanks for opinions. I'm gonna go for it and get it done. As for the insurance stuff in gonna put everything down. I got a quote with coilovers and tinted windows as I've already got alloys on my insurance they quoted 2100 wish

Getting the bonnet done next Thursday! Ill post some pics when its done x

Hi,

If you need any help with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line. I'd be only too pleased to try and help.

Regards,

It generally pays to run a bog standard car until you have built up some 'no claims bonus' - generally cheaper that way.

The other point being that if you drive on someone else's insurance, you may never build up a NCB.

Regards

The insurance is in my name. Thanks Dan I'll give you a ring cheers
