Carbon bonnet - opinions?

[Mr Burns]

Was browsing the net last night and saw K-Tec carbon bonnet for the 197.

Just wondered what people thought of it, I quite like it and think it might go well with the black wheels.

I'm thinking it might look a bit too 'Fast and the Furious' or are mods like these socially accepted these days!?

All opinions welcome, and if anyone with photoshop skills wants to have a crack at it I'd be really grateful.

do it mate, will look mint with your wheels

 

[Curley]

Your car is mint!

Not sure if the bonnet would look out of place, i peronally wouldn't. I bet it would look good for a week or 2

 

[Gally]

because its a short bonnet i dont believe it will suit mate.
love your car tho...stunning minus the decals

 

[Guppy]

^^^^^^ +1

 

[Tupps]

Looks lovely with the black wheels

Carbon bonnet might be an overkill mate

 

[Jaws]

I think it would look good but up to you.

 

[Android]

leave it the way it is.

looks sex

 

[sean_d]

Love the car, if it was me a wouldnt go for a carbon bonnet

 

[Mike@MJCycles.com]

that will look ace imo ste, you have a sexy car boyo.

 

[B5 BDJ]

i love you car as it is mate, imo 197 dont suit carbon bonnets.

 

[Spiezels]

DOOOOOOO IT !!!!!!!

 

[Turkish]

IMO would need the splitter too to work.

 

[Parky]

works for me....

 

[Greeny.]

ok on a black car, looks kinda stupid otherwise.

I'd usually agree that Carbon bonnets only look good on black car's but I reckon it'd look brilliant on your 197. Red and Black combo going on with the paint, wheels, decals and if you got that bonnet and painted the calipers red then it would suit it perfectly!

 

[Andyman]

Thats a tough call. Mmmm i reckon yes!

 

[Curley]

The bonnets too small to pull it off imo... someone photoshop

 

[Fletcher]

I'd leave it as it is, great looking 197.

 

[theduck]

Not sure mate, think they look a little out of place on the 197

 

[dunganick]

get one, then have it sprayed with a v thin coat in red, So from a distance it looks the same, but upclose you can still see the weave, Ferrari f40 style

[Mr Burns]

Looks good on a Trophy but on a 197 it doesn't look right with that block of red between the Bonnet and the grille.

 

[R20 CWH]

i wouldnt as the bonnet line is too high, so looks pap imo.
