In winter garb - lost the red nose, gained the Zunsport

That actually looks very cool on the steel wheels!

Steelies and winters? Where did you get the steelies and how much??

Hi Hr
Chap was selling the steels s/h... somewhere oop north £40 + £20 p&p
Cost, roughly, another £20(ish) to refurb.
May pick up a spare set of nuts and add some colour without attracting too much attention... having had yoof feef my colourful dust caps when visiting friends in Runcorn [lesson learned]
and
thank you, Raffles.
I really wasn't sure if it'd work but i'm pleased with the result and with the decision to go matt rather than shiney

The tyres are, so far, doing their thing as well
Only spinning or sliding has been provoked by me

Here is my first car - covered 150 miles since being skinned alive for insurance yesterday afternoon and am already firmly in love with it.

Just thought I'd stick a couple of update pictures on, a few slight changes!

[NitrousRuss]

[PGD5]

The bonnet is a wrap isn't it

Thats what I thought it looked like.. Something just doesn't look right about it.

Its a Matt finish, there's even a heat gun shown in the first picture to warm it up while fitting

Not saying it looks bad or anything, but calling it carbon is a bit misleading

I'm glad you asked, as I was thinking the same as you

But.. OP claims it's a real carbon bonnet.

Heatgun in the background suggests otherwise...

[NitrousRuss]

for the eagle eyed out there, it is a raised carbon textured, in matt, i didn't say it was real a carbon fibre, its great,it has the feel of real carbon fibre

Yes on both counts.. or thereabouts anyway The sky illumination is natural, but I did push the colour hue over to pink/purple from orange. The light source is a bike light/bright torch in a small DIY softbox

I'm pleased to hear you like it

Cool, I might give that a go, if it is half as good a yours I'll be seriously impressed.

Added you on Flickr too.
