People's thought's on Carbon wrapping the Bonnet?

Have a 55 Plate Pre face-lifted model, Have to get a new bonnet as it doesn't fit flush so not sure whether to get one re-sprayed depending on the nick of the bonnet (Scrap yard) Or just carbon wrap it?

Cheers
Steve

The bonnet will need to be pretty perfect to start with if your going to wrap it

Cheers Rob.

I've seen this one on ebay an I am pretty sure it has been sold?

My current bonnet is not sitting flush as it's been in an accident an repaired poorly, If at all! So my plan was to get one from a scrap yard, in a decent nick but that shall sit flush and then if it needed re-spraying get it done or just Carbon wrap it, if its in good shape then just leave it.

Sadly £240 Inc VAT for the bonnet just primed was a bit of a joke of a price from Ford.

It's a Colorado Red ST, So has anyone wrapped their's / How does it look?

Cheers
Steve

Think Lee just ment white vinyl smile. Make the bonnet black and take the stripes off or order some black stripes from dmb
