paint code

[APZ-312]

hey guys.. im in the process of gettin my bonnet sprayed..

my car colour is the normal steel silver..

i want a darker bonnet but dont want to go black.. something along the lines of dark metallic grey or somethin..

can someone help me with the paint code please??

[shue]

what exact grey are u looking at??? ive got the grey off the crystler cross fire and there are heaps of other gun metal grey's around

[APZ-312]

like i dunno.. jus somethin dat'll come close to carbon fibre i guess..

the guy at carmate suggested grey's off the hsv bodykits (the front spoiler) *yuck*

and yeh.. black as per usual which to me is jus plain..

[shue]

y not get a real cf bonnet. would cost u 800$, u'll end up spending about 500$ to get your bonnet resprayed anyway

yeh my bonnet is costing up to 900$ alrdy.. cf is 1095$

but the thing is.. i called up the rta and they sed some crap bout gettin an engineer's certificate and all this n dat jus so i can have it on my car widout gettin defected for it..

as it stands.. i dont have the time/energy/money to burn on all dat crap.. so i had to make do with a normal bonnet..

does anyone have a cf bonnet on their car? got pulled over for irt? or got defected??

right now.. im jus goin by what the rta told me bout them.. *sigh*

having just looked into a vented CF bonnet for my skyline there are some issues with cf bonnets if u get caught...in the end I decide to go std as I cbf with any issues....damn upset though a cf/vented bonnet would look sick.

yeh man i was spewing when the rta told me all dat crap..

the engineer's aint cheap either.. he told me somewhere around the bracket of 400$ to 600$

CF bonnets for the FTO are not ADR compliant, and hence unroadworthy.
An engineering cert would not change this, and even with an engineering cert you can get defected.
