4 full sets and a spare lol
No air holes just yet, as with it being a skinny bumper, the air gets under it anyway... saying that, if i get bored tomorrow, i'll probably get the hole saw out lol

get a 1 metre length of 1mm wall alloy U from B&Q, weighed 90grams dagnabbit

place across bonnet

cut V out dead central
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ure/nc1044.jpg
bend to shape

then realise that thats probably over kill, and fibreglass goes off pretty damn hard anyway, so scrap that
fill hollow leading edge with fibreglass resin, the complete width of the bonnet
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ure/nc1046.jpg
leave to dry (will be left a few days just to be sure, to be sure)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ure/nc1047.jpg
lets hope that goes off dead hard and that alone should keep the bonnet from flexing in the middle now :thumb:
Oh, and Mark, whether it was a pith take or not, I took another shot anyway lol

It was meant from the heart of my bottom!
Seriously, I love mk1's and wanted to see how it all looked.

You scrapped the idea because you didn't want to add 90grams, go on admit it :p lol lol
Aye, the FG should be strong enough, its hard stuff when set :cool:
Mark - you git lol
Ad - lol well, not completely, altho that 90grams i didn't want to add, you're correct... but tbh, it didn't fit quite as snug as i'd have liked in the little hollowed out bit... so was a bit cumbersome...
We'll see how the rock hard fibreglass holds up, if it doesn't.. i'll either sell this one on and get a decent fibreglass bonnet... or add a 5th pin, which'll look cack, be more **** ache to get into etc
I bet something ligher, like a flat piece of plastic/perspex, then f/g over the top, would work in place of the alloy bar.
You could always buy my old f/g bonnet with a free nova shell atached lol.
How do you find the seats olly? Need to buy a pair of seats for my corsa and not sure what ones to go for.
Looking good Mr H - like the grille :)
