by **halfpint** on Mon Aug 20, 2001 3:16 am

we saw the bloke at southend a while back and he said he'd do mine (mark 2) and pauls (mark 3) painted for a total of £400 cash.

DIY mate then you'll only have to pay for the paint. :wink:

just wondering, when the extensions have been welded on, how do you get them to sit over the lights? :???:

do you move the lights back, or reshape the bonnet?

so did u DIY urs brad??? i can get the welding done for nowt n get the metal and get it cut to right shape for nowt so all i'd need was to have the rest smoothed flush to the bonnet with fibreglass. how much should I expect a bodyshop to charge for smoothing it?? :???:

I got my bonnet done for about £120 from a mate. This included buying some mesh, a 5mm metal rod to give the vent a factory finish, constructing the vent, welding the bad boy eyebrows on and spraying. At the weekend I borrowed a welder & put bigger bad boy brows on myself, filled them with fibreglass & filler & then smoothed it all out. It took a long time to get it perfect but I'm well chuffed with how it looks & the job's finish.

I need 2 do summat with my front end n its either:
1- morrette twin headlight conversion (far 2 expensive brand new + wots the likely-hood of another set turning up on here?!)
or....
2- bad-boy bonnet (which will cause MOT problems :sad:

by **MOONDUST FRST** on Tue Aug 21, 2001 12:29 pm

Thats a real issue what MOT problems will arise? cos you must block out around 50% of the light! Someone must know whos had it done. :???:

by **zetec69** on Tue Aug 21, 2001 12:47 pm

I'm gonna use a spare bonnet for my mot [ERRR] it definately ain't gonna pass with my new brows!

by **SmoothBlue** on Tue Aug 21, 2001 4:16 pm

yeah mine was ok with MOT as long as its not 50% covered it will pass mine didnt effect the light in any way!

hmm expensive i plan to buy a cheap second hand jobbie and let my m8 at it, all new to him but its a learning experience! :lol:

y use fibreglass, surely it cracks and splinters when hit or put under pressure. y not just smooth of welds and filler it smooth!? :???:

by **zetec69** on Wed Aug 22, 2001 3:18 am

If you just use big blobs of filler it won't stay there for too long so I used Fibreglass in the areas that needed packing out more than about 2mm and then skimmed the filler over the top. Filler will crack more easily than fibreglass if you use big scoops of the stuff!

by **Tom SX** on Wed Aug 22, 2001 5:31 am

i have no idea how to use fibreglass m8!

where do i begin eg. cost and how do you stick it on and shape it? :???:

by **zetec69** on Wed Aug 22, 2001 5:41 am

You can buy the ISOPON fibreglass at any car shop like halfords - it's about a fiver a tub & you just add hardener & use a spreader like you do filler to apply it mate. :wink:

by **halfpint** on Wed Aug 22, 2001 6:23 am

mmmm - i love the smell of filler !! :eek:
