Bonnet styling

[rob_wilkinson]

Just wondering what to do wiv me bonnet. Thinking of getting cool louvres. What have you boys got???

[?Marty?]

I've got a hard-on.

As for the bonnet, depends on what look you're going for. Functional, it should be. BUT - subtle/smack in the chops.

Best one i'd say is a Vauxhall Monteray one. Shape suits nova really well, functional, and doesnt look out of place.

Louvres are best for the really subtle, smooth look. Definitely wont get any cracked filler, as u could do with other stuff.

Or have a one-off scooped and carbon fibered bonnet made up for the in your face ott look.

about a clio 16v buldge & vent dont think ive seen one of them on a nova b4

[Jules]

I've seen a couple clio 16v bulges on Novas.

[Dpnova]

Im pretty sure ive seen the clio bulge and i didnt really like it

[rob_wilkinson]

was thinking of getting a perspex vent like one on supra in 2fast 2furious but not sure if it wil look right. Wanna have something that fits in nicely with kingdom front.

first of all a perspex vent would look shite unless u had a chromed up 2ltr turbs but for a nice jap look vent ave a look in the POTN catalogue i think its elite styling they have got a nice bulge and a big vent other thought ask sabre autostyling to make you a pair of big notril like vents look like a coke adicts nasil cavertys !!!!!!!

Scooby vent

nothing - leave it as is - a nice flat piece of metal - the only thing I would do is block off the grill in takes under the windscreen and then restyle them - or smooth out the 2 grooves - thats hard though

try a honda civic. The lines of that bumper dont go with the shape of the nova, it juts too far forward. Where as with civics, and etc, it flows into the shape of the bonnet/lights/wings, and looks 'part' of the car, rather than just 'there at the front'.

[djp_y2k]

I like the sound of a perspex bonnet.

Need lots of shiney bits under it though

[?Marty?]

i suggested this a year ago, or so, and most said it was a stupid idea and etc.

There was a phase in US when it was a hot mod to do, and you could (still can) get off the shelf replacement perspex bonnets (heat treated and with all the strengthening bars etc) for most hondas. Come if coloured perspex too, like blue, yellow etc.

Cool.

[epo]

[Stanton]

shabba, wot u mean by 2 fast 2 furious vents, the perspex vents?

the beast has a kinda reverse scoop.

[Jules]

One that lets hot air out as opposed to letting cold air in.

[olly55]

which would make it a vent!

[Stanton]

lol, well yeah but it dips into the bonnet rather than being a scoop, sticking out of the bonnet.

[?Marty?]

a pooper scooper?

[Stanton]
