well you may have noticed in my gallary or when ever i have posted my car up for any reason there was some s**t on it then again you may not have noticed due to bad photo quality, good old camera phone, did my car more justice than it deserved, basically i tried to respray my bonnet one day as there was a bit of fading, WHAT A MISTAKE! lost all the glossy shine and all thought it would cost about $1000 or so to fix, tried fixing it myself with clear coat etc, actually made it worse! so i just gave up on it, also, something you wouldnt have noticed as i made sure i never took photos of it so ya cant see it but 2 months after i got the car i dinted the right side of my car, the whole gaurd was dinted...

ANYWAYS! enough about that! back to the solution! found a really cheap spray painter, and bought a second hand right side gaurd, paid $120 for the gaurd, and the spray painter charged me $200 to spray the second hand gaurd and bonnet for me i wasnt sure on the quality of the job cause it was so cheap! but it came out mint! i left him my fuel cap and the bonnet and the second hand gaurd so he could match the colours

5 days of driving with a white bonnet i picked up the beautifully sprayed bonnet and guard, spent 2 hours last night removing the original f**k out and half an hour putting the new one on heres a pic with it off and with the white bonnet, when i get a digital camera, i'll post up a pic of the bonnet so you can see the great job So all up $320 to fix it all, glad i did it myself, probably saved $1500

Oh and while i was pulling it apart, there was a tube connected to the end of the battery... dunno wtf that was for LOL! cause it fell off Didnt look important anyways

hopefully you forgot to put those blue leds back on your bonnet couse they are just yuk!

actually the guy broke them as he took them off but i want them back! but i dunno... maybe not

Cough *riceboy* Cough
lol

i think ur new white bonnet is not a el bonnet its shaped like a ef at the nose

nar nar nar, that was the TEMPORARY bonnet i only had that for 5 days, like i'd wanna keep a white bonnet LOL! yeah it is an EF bonnet my EL one is back on and all shiny red

lol Neo Nick, cmon i aint no ricer, i dont have flames on the side of my car and neons under neith, or a tip the size of my head! and when it changes gears it doesnt go grrrrrr tsssssss grrrrrr tsssssss grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr tsssssssss LOL!

That tube you spoke about with your battery sounds like your battery breather vent. I suggest you should find it and put it back in

i knew someone would say that! and i KNEW that was what it was for, but it was dark, and i was like nar f**k that

lol. oh well. your battery should vent/breathe properly. maybe.

im sure it'll be fine without it, i might try putting it back in through the battary side of it

mate if you had a turbo on that falcon i sure as hell wouldn't be calling you a ricer no matter what you do, but as it is yes you are a ricer - those bonnet lights!?!

why no pics of the finnished job?

i reckon the white bonnet looks the s**t. should of kept it

haha yeah i think if i cleaned the white bonnet up a bit, and it actually fitted, it would have looked a bit mean, but seeing as it wasnt mine, and i wasnt going to mod anything to accommadate for it just for 5 days, well it didnt look that great cause it was sticking up about an inch on the sides... as for the ricer stuff, OK FINE IM A RICER HAHAHAH! i will get pics as soon as i get my camera, shouldnt be too much longer, but would you all agree, $200 for respraying two different panels is pretty good aye?
