(Its not the whole bonnet, just the bulge)Looks good and is made by a professional by the looks.Has anyone seen one or own one?Also would it be a difficult job attatching it to the existing bonnet?I like that Idea instead of buying a new bonnet.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a bit strange on the Late model camira but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fibreglass to crack later on down the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
