is the car completely stock otherwise?

you will need a drop and perfect offset on the wheels to pull this off nicely :)

fitting the bonnet alone will get people to look but it may not be the looks you were hoping for...

you will need the right stance to complete the car so be sure to factor that into the cost...

My point exactly - hense the "bulldog" stance comment.You dont need wings and aerofoils, just make it sit right and not look top heavy.

yip needs and aggressive stance to go with the bonnet or else it looks like you just slapped a bonnet on...

total to get this looking good will be about 20k including the bonnet depending on what suspension gets fitted

after seeing the car i think you may be able to pull it off :rollsmile: offset on the wheels is awesome and the bumper is good...

you may want to lower to make it more aggressive but the bonnet will look good as is based on that pic...

Thanks man, but after careful consideration, I want to remove all errors from the car first, then do the complete exhaust and manifold, 3.46 Diff, bilstein coilovers, schrick cams, then will supercharge with uniq chip and bigger injectors.

Will have to start a new thread somewhere in the weekend so I can properly introduce the car, currently it sounds like a scrapyard model with all the faults. Be she is far from it :rollsmile:

On that colour i would say that you could actually pull off a good look with bare c/f, but at most i would say bonnet with a power dome, the GTR one with the vents would look a bit too over the top unless you widen the car. Plus the vents will make your engine get real dirty :rollsmile:

Also with a c/f bonnet you will need other c/f parts as well, maybe splitters and diffuser, but also not too much else it will look rice.
