My 2 year resto is allmost done, shell is in primer, 2.7 engine is built.
Getting excited about actually driving my e30!

Anyway, I've got a grp bonnet.
It can't be body coloured (dolphin grey), never look right, wobbly fibreglass ECT.

I'm thinking matt/satin black.?
Or a mad graphics, crazy paint?
635cs type engine graphics?

Car is a track prepped 2 door, white cage, 9" borbet, ECT.

Any cool ideas?

Get some photos up!! Sounds cool.

I used to have a track car, S50B30 in a compact. Great fun, to save weight I got a carbon fiber bonnet. Took it from 17kgs to 2kgs. Mega. Anyway looks were not really my agenda but I was happy with the contrast.

I'm sure you could get a carbon wrap....

On a similar note, is there a carbon fiber bonnet that is recomended by the comunity? with OEM like fit and finish?
