xecoupe Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 new ones are £180 plus postage £40 Hello Rutts, can they be glossed up or do they have to be matted. i bought one a while ago and the painter said it would never look good glossed. i may have got hold of a dud copy. could you shed some light on this? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 dont know why it will not look good in gloss paint. if the preping is good primer and top coat done right then should be right. loads of these bonnets are on show cars throughout uk even mint genuine 400s are wearing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
