Clio ph1 Looking good?

[boomerbang2006]

Ok....cant afford to get the bonnet resprayed so ive spent £8 on some wing mirrors to give it some sort of match?...What do people think.

 

[Goodj]

Just looks like someone cant afford to get their bonnet resprayed, TBH.

Same as 'carbon'-wrapped bonnets, I cant help but think "someone must have keyed C*NT into the bonnet, and probably for good reason"

Which is a shame, because the rest of the car looks spot on!

 

[banther]

Love the colour and paintwork. Ignore Goodj - he's a grumpy wee bear.

If you cant afford it - you cant afford it!!

I think you recognise it doesnt look good, but get it sorted!

Dont you think it harkes back to the racing clio`s of 2000??....they had different colour body panels.

I am happy you put the picture up as I am getting a pair of wing mirror covers and a cup spoiler painted in a dark grey to match my wheels but I will leave the bonnet , what was wrong with the old bonnet ?

 

[boomerbang2006]

Old bonnet is steel....this one is aluminium....i still have the old one and i use it when we have snow on the road.

 

[yeecup]

Looks w**k

 

[boomerbang2006]

Looks w**k

Thanks.....takes a lot to make it look good...but only 2 wing mirrors and a different colour bonnet to look w**k..

TAXI!!!

 

[Martin_172]

Because its aluminium and functional then its cool!

 

[WilkyWay]

You'd have been better off spending the 8 quid on two tins of blue paint at Halfords and Ed China'ing the bonnet so at least it sort of matched. Just looks like you've had a crash and had to find some second hand bits TBH.

You change your bonnet in the winter?

 

[Yellow Dave]

If you have the original blue bonnet, keep that on till you can afford to have the alu bonnet sprayed so your car doesn't look like it's had a front end shunt

 

[Sideways182]

I'd rattle-can it. Can get a decent finish it the prep is done right - will look better than it does now anyway.

 

[Fletcher]

Not a fan TBH.

 

[imprezaworks]

I think it looks ok tbh. As said though i'd put the old bonnet back on. Oh and why do you swap bonnets over in the winter?

 

[boomerbang2006]

With snow on the ground and front wheel drive the steel bonnet puts more weight over the front tyres....better grip.

Can't be serious mate. If so, massive fail.

I hope so mate. I worry about people sometimes............

 

[The Russian.]

For sale?

 

[boomerbang2006]

I love this.....one pic,loads of people`s opinions.....at least its something to chat about.

 

[imprezaworks]

That's one way of looking at it

 

[boomerbang2006]

I will eventually get the bonnet resprayed...it just looks different for now.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah and I think it looks ok tbh. But tell me and the interwebz that's not your reasoning the swapping bonnets.

 

[boomerbang2006]

Of course not....ive wanted the aluminium bonnet for the car for ages....and the only one/and right priced was this one.

 

[imprezaworks]

No ref the snow comment

[imprezaworks]

He already answered you

 

[imprezaworks]

Anyway. Good luck with the future plans op.

 

[boomerbang2006]

Cheers....

 

[ben_r1]

It looks terrible IMO. Does the aluminum bonnet really offer any real benefits you'd notice? Apart from reduced traction in snow lol

 

[boomerbang2006]

You would be surprised the amount of pull from the 2 different bonnets.

I'm sorry but you can not be serious?!

Do you load up with bricks too?

 

[welshname]

Take it off.

 

[boomerbang2006]

I give up.....

 

[markerboy2002]

Everyone has their own opinion on here, and usually you can never win. I can see it making a very very small difference on the track but not on snow. It won't improve traction that much
