BoozyDave Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 personally I'm not keen on carbon bonnets, so I'd just get it resprayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusNoGood Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I just got mine resprayed for £300. Looks stunning. I really wouldn't go carbon fibre [emoji37] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyDave Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 £300 for a bonnet I had the front end of my last blob done and that was only £400. like you say though, looks stunning afterwards well, until you do this to it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Wrap is easy but any marks under it do show up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Carbon wrap is a bit meh imo, proper carbon ones tend not to be a 100% fit, had a proper seibon one on my M3 and panel gaps wern't great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozyDave Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 yeah, it was just me in the car. I came up the hill about 70 and there was loads of gravel on the right hand corner, the back end went left and I steered left, but it gripped and the back end just came round to the right, I just froze and braked (the wrong thing to do, but I just panicked :( ). I slid up the road sideways and onto the grass, I hit a concrete milestone with the rear driver door and the window smashed and that straightened the car up, the rear passenger side hit the wall and I just kept sliding on the wet grass into the lamp post :( you can have any bit you want done, one panel, side, etc. think of accident repairs, they don't respray the car each time.

robwrx Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Did u buy another one I take it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyDave Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 as soon as I got home I was searching. I bought one a week later It was being sold through a garage and the ad write up was rubbish, so I phoned up to ask a few questions. they knew everything about the car and owner and subarus and evo's as well (their son is a rally driver). the first owner was a millionaire, every service she just said to do everything that needs doing. she then gave it to her daughter and it was still no expense spared. I went up the day after, it drove spot on and I bought it. the only bad point about it is the paint isn't great, the owners lived in the middle of nowhere down little country lanes and it has got some scratches from branches and stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robwrx Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Very nice. My paint work ain't the best so I'm gna av a look at a re spray or see what the body shop suggest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
