dont go down the cheapskate route, u'll only regret it later when it cracks or fooks up.... pay for it to be done properly via welding

I'll never understand why some people who mod their car want to do it the cheapest and easiest way possible. Do it properly and it'll look better/last longer.

wouldn't it be better to buy a welded bonnet, seen few for sale over few weeks for £100ish, atleast u know it will be ok, also depends who does it the other way, fibreglass is crap if done wrong , just cracks as my mates found it...

so ure having a full respray but going to ruin it buy bodging ure bonnet i'm sorry but wait to save up wat, 100 quid to have it done by a pro or buy one done by a pro....

r u not finking about the long term here? my mate did a bad boy bonnet... with metal plates and tiger seal... cos he wanted it cheap and then he had a full respray costing about 1.5k.... and u know wat? his bonnet cracked all around his bad boy so he had to have the bonnet all redone... its false economy.
