mk1 capris make the black bonnet look, look great nova may pull it off, i think it looks good, but maybe even better when you put the bumpers back to the standard grey colour

yea, could work if you have bumpers wheels etc the same colour, but like it is now, it looks out of place

Like stated before you need to paint ur wheels and and bumpers black. But imo black bonnets only really work on lairy coloured cars like srimons old orange nova when that had a black bonnet.

I say do what epo said, buy a white mk1 bonnet which will hav no badge on it. I want to do that to mine (in black though coz my car is black) coz i hate the vauxhall badge on the front

If you want to remove the bonnet badge do what they did in the haynes max power manual. I did it to my old sr and it look good after i built the paint up level and gave it a t-cut.

If its a proper carbon bonnet, do it; if not, don't.

And what does that involve? Coz i;ve heard people saying they cut it out but that would look s**t as there is a crease down the centre of the bonnet

afaik the badge is held in with two small pins either side, so when you remove the badge you have two small holes left where the pins sat. Shouldn't require any cutting, just a small amount of filling and painting :?

No x 1000. However, it's your car and if you like it then do it.
