bonnet

anyone else thought of changing the bonnet for something lighter like carbon fibre - obviously having it painted in capsicum.... must save a kilo or 2...

Hello, My name is James, I have a Subaru Impreza WRX STi-8, with various modifications, which have upped the power to 487bhp :) However, although this has made the car bonkers fast (sub 4 to 60:)) this has made the car rather expensive to run, and its becoming a bit much as a daily driver. My...

Fibreglass bonnet with rain catcher and pins, requires sanding down and painting to finish.....£80 Can deliver to FCS or collection from Manchester.....

Did anyone see this? It was interesting to see how there appeared to be a bonnet latch problem. A few owners reported the bonnet unlatching and flying up and hitting the windscreen at motorway speeds. The show however got a bit confused with the models. They said cars from '04 onwards had...

Some peugeot 206 driving idiot rear-ended me at about 15mph. His bumper and bonnet were smashed up but all my car had was paint marks. On close inspection there were no cracks or loosened fittings underneath or in the boot but I'm taking it to the garage just in case. I must start playing...

How much does the air con weigh in the trophy? Was told about 40kg - sound about right? Also, is stripping it out classed as a modification for insurance purposes? Thanks

My car has just hit the 10k mark with no major problems at all (Touch Wood :? ) I cant belive that in 6months I have done so many miles. Good thing is later this year i am moving in with my Partner, which is only 10min walk from work, so during the week the car will be parked up and i will...

Feel better now after a few beers and hoping the chap from Dent Devils can restore my doors as new on Monday! If I did this to someone elses car i would leave my number on their windsreen. Am i in the minority group for being good citizen or just too stupid / honest? I'm not washing it...

Worse than a keyed bonnet! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=131540 Pains me to hear stuff like this. Just hope that the owners are ok.

Hi everyone, I am going to book in a Permagard treatment for the little Clio. Anyone had any experience with the Permagard product? We have had a similar hard glossy coating on a car which we kept in very harsh conditions and it fared very well. BTW, they have quoted ~£150 for a...

Quick question - what is the bonnet of the Trophy made from? Is it aluminium?

:wink:

When she went off to be rebuilt / stored last year, i didn't do the bonnet properly, and this happened. She has had a new engine; complete re-fresh from the bearings up and load of other new toys that we will be showing off over the year. New Bonnet, Windscreen, Bonnet Pins and Braking...

Well, we have re-built the car properly and here she is. the first start up - a proper video courtesty of EVOgone :-) The First Start is a turn-over to build up the oil pressure, then we fired her up. :-) http://www.yozzasport.co.uk/upload/video/y...cup_startup.wmv (25 MB)...

Anyone thought of getting one? - I'm really tempted Think it would look great and help with the weight loss on the car Anyone know the pro's and cons of them, or anyone who has one? Also are they durable or do they scrach and show chips up CheeRS

Does anyone know what this is? Saw it advertised in the Autotrader - huge rear arches!! Text from ad: RENAULT Clio dimma 1.8 16V, Williams Blue, genuine factory car, number 31 of 50, all bills and history from new, compomotive alloys, lowered induction kit, Clifford immob, PAS...

It would appear the Trophy is a finely honed pheasant killing implement. Whilst I wouldn't condone the killing of innocent creatures the fact this bird flew into the front of my car kind of serves it right especially as I now have a broken half grill !! Don't suppose anyone knows how much...

My car has finally returned from the repair shop. It's going back to say the least. Can anyone tell me if there should be a cover between the front grill and the alternator to stop all the spray etc going through and eventually damaging it. Perhaps someone could have a quick look through the...

....does it take to change a light bulb? 4 1 to change the bulb, and 3 to remind you their bulb finished 1st in bulb of the year

Hi all, Just thought I'd share something i did at weekend! Went to grantham, linc to a compan called 'Paintshield' They offer a guaranteed solution to stonechips. They supply and fit precision laser cut shapes that cover the stonchip prone areas of the car. I had my bonnet, front wings...

Can anyone help with this? While driving (ie. doesn't happen when stationary) when I go above 3000rpm the red STOP and battery lights flash on and off seemingly randomly. Sometimes they stay on for a little bit, but usually go out again when the revs drop. I feel no other probs, the car feels...

The car below is my Trophy that yesterday was in with Brazo (from ClioSport). His is the man when is comes to polishing/treating cars. The words are his: Unfortunatly the dealer did a ‘rush’ job on cleaning it. The car is absolutely brand new and was for a brand...

Just washed my pride and joy only to find some Twat has put something on the bonnet which both put two dents in it and a 4 inch scratch! not big dents but two small ish creases. And to add to this the bottom of the passenger wing has been scuffed probably by the same Twat!. These two things...

I'd only had my trophy a couple of days when some jealsous f***** keyed it. Not only that it happened again the next night!!! This makes me so angry coz its just a mindless dumb act of vandalism. Problem is these c**ts that do it only do it when they know they ain't gonna get caught.
