Badboy Bonnet

[Bubbles]

Arnt these illegal? as they cover part of the headlights? just asking as im about to get one, was thinking of holding onto my original bonnet for MOTs..

There needs to be a certain amount of light shown through them. I have been told by 2 different test centres that mine will fail.

The place i get my MOTs probably wont be to bothered. If they say anything i will just say that if i take it off i will just put it back on again after so there is no point.

If they do not pass it i will just borrow a spare clio bonnet from a RSI just for the day.

on yours though it is very subtle. Looks very nice but probably only 25% of the light is covered.

 

[klmillard]

On mine i reckon it is more like 40% of light is covered. It is also noticibly bad light in the dark.

God colinS your car just look GNARLY! BITE ME! hehe both cars are very sweet (wish i had a valver) i think i will go for it being able to pass.. less hasle then.

Mine didnt seem to do much at all to the headlights.. probably a little but not loads.

Ive still got my original bonnet anyway, heh.

 

[Colin_S]

Bubbles what does GNARLY mean?

Yea mine is quite subtle, thats the way i wanted it. Did conside have it cover a bit more but decided i like it that way best and have no probs with MOTs

 

[Essex_Lad]

av mine tomorrow its the same sorta coverage as colins one,

should i get brighter bulbs as it will be coverin some of the headlight?

 

[sleepy]

essex_lad where are you having it done and how much does it cost

 

[Essex_Lad]

buyin it off a m8!

do a search for badboy bonnet and i think theres a link where people get it done for £180

 

[Daz]

All depends on what car its for too, Mk1, Phase1/2 Clios have flat headlights, so its less time consuming. Mk1, Phase3 Clios have rounded headlights, so takes ages to get the shape right.

Mk2 Clios are the same again, time consuming because of the rounded headlights.

 

[Colin_S]

Mine cost me £50 quid. lol

 

[Daz]

Mine was a lot more than that.. at Mate rates too! All depends on how time consuming it is..

 

[spinthedecks]

got the badboy + vent done for £445 all in, calder coachworks supplied the sweat. It does make a difference on the back roads though, cant see s**t!

Yep, you got a Phase3 like me.. thats why it was a little more expensive! Rounded headlights are no fun to shape metal around! hehe.
