Paul Gibney - Lancashire AO Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 taken "homemade" duct off wanted to fit naca duct but dont think it will cover the hole.... any suggestions ... Quote
John K Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Can't help with the duct. But you have to stop leaving a hot iron on your bonnet... 2 Quote
Captain Colonial Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 T-Cut, enlarge the hole to remove the black part and add some mesh? Quote
litcoat Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 What about one of those bonnet scoops off a pickup like the Mitsubishi L200, they're not too tall in section to obscure vision and cover a decent surface area and could be painted to match your car. Quote

jeff oakley Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Depends what you are trying to do. Could you get a slightly different shaped duct. Or get your bonnet to a good repair shop and have it glassed over. Perhaps then to save on a paint job have it carbon wrapped. Chairman's method would work as well Quote

Paul Gibney - Lancashire AO Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 made a start... quoted £150 for carbon wrapped bonnet !! going to glass over and paint i think ! Quote
litcoat Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I'm getting my bonnet done this next week, gel coat was crazing, so I've rubbed it down and filled it ready for the carbon wrap.I think there may be too much black so I'm going to experiment with different stripes, either a single wide one down the scoop or a few thinner one's, has anyone else tried this?

Captain Colonial Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I have a number of plumbing or waste disposal based ideas, a mobile BBQ and one involving a rabbit and a magic act, but I think I'll keep them all to myself. Quote

Lyonspride Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 made a start... quoted £150 for carbon wrapped bonnet !! going to glass over and paint i think ! I would say that of all the bodywork parts you could wrap on a Westfield, the bonnet would be comparatively easy DIY. I've be contemplating doing the cycle wings because one is a slightly off colour, next winter I might give it a go, I think if I use 3m 1080 and get it heated just right, it'll probably work.... If it fails, then i'll just buy some new black cycle wings from one of the many suppliers out there. Of course the bonnet is self heating, no need for heat guns, just do it after a blat Quote
Paul Gibney - Lancashire AO Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Anyone know if westfield still do or sell think it's post box red paint? Please correct me if it's wrong ... Quote
