if u know how to weld or know some1 that can do it ur self mate
ull need about 1.6mm thick steel or stainless steel, mark out the shapes for the badboys on the metal, cut it out, weld it on, smooth over with fibreglass then again with filla, prime it, spray it, lacquer it
bish,bash,bosh done!

He has had the centre bit flattened instead of having the arch.
You could do it yourself, or the majority of it yourself if you can weld or know someone who can weld.
Like said, just cut the shape you need out of metal, wel it onto the end of the bonnet, modify the middle if you want, then just fill it all and prime it and then take it down to a body shop to get them to spray it for you.
Daimo how much did that cost??

Looks gud Damio.
Think your wiper needs repositioning.
Smooth boot, dehandled,smooth roof rails and smoothed in arches..one smooth car.

Cheers lads
Aye, yeah, wipers well out though ha ha, gotta sort it out still
I wanted the roof rails smoothed in as well, but couldn't afford it. I have a smooth boot, but i didn't want smooth arches. I wanted it still to be a practical car. And although de-handled corsas look great, there a bloody nightmare and i've not spoken to a corsa owner who hasn't had real big problems with them (whether the workings to get in, or the fact that the handle hole sinks etc.

Thats what i baised D4's bonnet on. But that has straight edges over the lights and not such a low curve. So only the middle bits the same really.
That car though was fantastic. Loved it

My mate did mine quite a while ago, well impressed with too, problem is he don't do that stuff now. Didn't cost me too much, should have been 400 quid with the scoop though, that is what most companies would charge.
