The bulge on the top is OK (a bit aircrafty, if you know what I mean). I don't like the hole in the nose much TBH

if it's there for a reason - and I'm sure it is, then it looks perfectly ok to me
It gives it that home brewed but high performance look

Sorry mate but to be honest and break it to you gently IT LOOKS SHITE. IMHO sorry but at least I was subtle with my comment. I do like the nose duct
though.
I reckon if you needed to ask us then you were not too happy with it yourself if you are honest.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Its got a functional rawness which I do like, could you have mounted it from underneath instead, so as not to have the lip all the way round, may just
take the edge off it.....

Its covering the airbox which does stick out the bonnet 2 1/2", I have thought of having the bonnet vinyl wrapped.
To be honest sometimes I like it sometimes I dont, I,m really not sure myself, I guess if your not sure your not really happy with it, trouble is what
else to do ? The airbox works so I'm not into moving that for the sake of looks.
As for the hole in the nose, that's staying I'm happy with that bit.

Hi Jon,
Just my opinion, doesn't mean it's right, but I think that if you were to come through with the bulge from the underside it would look
better.
When sat on top you see two edges. The edge of the flange and the crease where the shape starts.
With the flange inside the engine bay you would only see one edge. Neater IMHO.

I wouldn't change any of the two of them one iota.
They're both there to do a job and don't look like some of the overblown flashness you often see.
Keep both of them.
They're both your work, be proud of them.
well done.

I had thought of coming up from underneath, but me been me the hole is a bit in wrong place so cant, not without moving engine or making another
bonnet, here's a pic from back, I'm going to have to learn to live with it, summers nearly here, fill edges and vinyl wrap, opinions ?
honest ones.

I would have mounted from underneath as others have said...
Although having said that - if the hole from the inside is flush to the start of the airbox scoop then that would be the right way round of doing it
if you wanted to use your bonnet as a mould and make it out of something else - carbon fibre, for instance
Drop me a U2U if you fancy having a crack at it

I think that's OK It would look more finished if it was lip under. But these cars are made for a function....
If you want something polished and smooth buy a westy Have you a grill to put over your v duct...to stop small kids being sucked in?
