An X appears in the frost..........

[smokinv8]

When we have a frost I get the outline of a large X appear on the bonnet of my cerb, and on my way into Swindon I saw a chim with exactly the same. Can anyone advise why?

Because the treasure of a TVR lies below?

It's the cross brace strengthening under the bonnet, due to the difference in thickness the temperature is also different, hence more or less frost depending which bit you look at.
I know it's a bit sad that i know that, before anyone says.

also when we had our 350i, when it was cold or frosty, a 'TVR' image could be seen on the bonnet.

This was due to it having 'TVR' embossed on the underbonnet heatshield.

Doh! Thought maybe it had been on a track or sumat, should have looked under the bonnet, obvious really!
Thanks, it will stop me wondering now.

Have you never lifted your bonnet then? or just didn't remember what was on it?

Its got me wondering if there is anyone who has never lifted their bonnet
