alex g Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Finally had a day where it was warm enough, and i felt well enough to get on with some bits, so first i gave her a well deserved bath.... http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/alex_green20/090305_125811.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/alex_green20/090305_125826.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/alex_green20/090305_125835.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/alex_green20/090305_125853.jpg then, 3 hours later, feeling rather pleased with myself, i treated her to her new bonnet halfway through bonnet polishing...http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/alex_green20/090305_165318.jpg and done...http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/alex_green20/090305_171519.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/alex_green20/090305_171532.jpg hope you all like. getting mixed opinions on the black at the moment, i like the fact it matches the spoiler and sunstrip, but in the future i may well have it done white, but i wont be upset if it has to stay black for a while Edited March 6, 2009 by alex g
Escort_Kid Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 A black bonnet looks really out of place on your car to be honest, some cars it suits but yours it just doesnt imo. Colour code it and itll look superb
MC_Bob Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I think the wheels arent right for the black bonnet, but with the white bonnet the car is perfect, love it!
alex g Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 you know what? the first thing i thought to myself when i put the bonnet on was "it needs black wheels" lol. but because the wheels are so mint theres no point in refurbing them in black yet, so looks like colour coding is the only way
RyanML Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) you paint those wheels black and i will come to your house and slap you my boy! bonnet needs to be white, white mk6 mirrors, white spoiler and mk5a rs2k skirts! oh yes. oh and ill come and collect it when you're done lol.

Apnea Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 BLACK BONNETS ON WHITE CARS FTW!!!! Spray and smooth your front grll, then it will look more fitting. Spray that black btw.
THOMMA55 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Looks mint , if you paint the grill and wheels black it would look loads better imo
Circle8 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) The bonnet in black looks crap, absolutely pointless & a waste of an RS2000 bonnet. The standard bonnet in white looks loads better. I thought you'd just bought it & hadn't got round to getting it painted when I first saw the photo. It's not working on the Escort, best left to Jap motors. Colour code the bonnet, spoiler, door handles & get some Mk6 mirrors & colour code them too & you will have a really classy Escort. Edited March 6, 2009 by Circle8
alex g Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 well, i didnt go out looking for a black bonnet, but a mate offered it cheap, so was worth having. the reason its staying black atm is that i havnt got the money to spend spraying yet, had it been red or something then i wouldnt have put it on at all, but i think i can get away with black for now
mutley Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 all this car needs now is everything made white. dont put mk6 mirros on a mk5 they look gash
Circle8 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 all this car needs now is everything made white. dont put mk6 mirros on a mk5 they look gash Why?? They're much neater than MK5's & they're virtually the same door, so why would they look gash?!
Charley Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 NOOOOOOOO way should you put MK6 mirrors on the car! Stick with the Mk5
