i was just wondering if it is possible to get a pic of a bonnet you want and take it to a body shop can they can make it for you?
would they only need a pic or would there be other information they need?
cos im thinking it would be cheaper than just buying one...
also could they also mod the standard bonnet and make it like a AB style vented bonnet?
thanks guys

Yeah some places can do it. How deep are your pockets though?

Fairly deep as I'm a student and plus I work a sh*t load and only spend money on my car and nothing else... How come?
It would be cheaper wouldn't it?

actally it would cost almost twice as much if you want a custom bonnet o.o

Agreed, but it depends on how full on the design is. If you were wanting the AB style i think you would come close to the, if not more than the UAS price.

hehe coz we're like babys on this forum :D
give a few body shops a visit and show them the design or what the bonnet your after looks like, and they'll find a SIMILAR one which would probably cost 1000 bucks max fitted and painted, and your looking at 2+ for a custom CF one

i have a lot of plans ready for my FTO like you i would assume ... but i suggest save up till your P's (UNLESS YOU ALREADY GOT IT GRRRR) before modifying it
