Look forward to updates as and when I'd say you've already achieved your aim Stevie.steviebmw wrote:... i wanna do my e30 different and not keep it like every one eles

Kidney grill 'style' cut out echoing the design on the front of the E30?RustyRuss wrote:Perhaps you could achieve the best of both worlds (and to save the expense of a full perspex bonnet) by having just a small part of the original bonnet done in perspex, say a kidney bean shape or something over a part that showed something interesting like the manifold or throttle body. Just an idea that may be easier to do.

As I've mentioned previously, the only reason to carry out this mod is to whore off something epic under the bonnet. Unless there is M Power, V8 or V12, it's going to be a waste of time.
Stevie why do you continue to do this to yourself lol
Some classic comments again. seems to be a regular thing in Stevie's threads
Bloody heck Stevie,takes a lady to point out the bleeding obvious!beemerbird wrote:Stevie. You need to check the temperature that Perspex or Acrylic becomes flexible at (in other words, a state that you can mould it to a bonnet shape) and compare that to the kind of temperature your engine bay reaches at full steam.
The last thing you would want is to set out on a cruise with your gleaming new Perspex bonnet, only to find when you get to your destination that you have shrink - wrapped your engine
He will be ok unless the engine is on fire, the point at which Perspex becomes workable is around 150°c.beemerbird wrote:Stevie.
