Remove the bonnet and wrap some clingfilm over the top ...job done!

Cheap but effective.

What E30 is this being fitted to?

I suspect the final result will be very very similar. :(

Unless there is something epic under the bonnet, ///M power, V8 or V12 you'll never get away with it.

Stevie is probably the best zoner there is in my opinion... Always makes me smile. Me and 'Eeeferteh' have just been giggling all the way through this thread... Zone gold ftw.

Badboy bonnets can look ok on an E30 but perspex? There must be one on the web somewhere?

Get some inch thick perspex for the bonnet and insert LEDs into the edges and etch E30 Zone into the centre, switch 'em on and there you have it. Proper Bo

It's a bonnet that has been modified in a way that the headlights get slightly covered as if it has eyebrows. Looks great on some cars imo.
