also might double as a letter box! :errr:

Liking that, is the finish smooth and ready to paint or does it require some prep work?

Most (if not all) fibreglass parts need prep work before paint.

look at the bonnet, it's shiny, this is the gel coat and it's very smooth and very shiny, you have to flat it down with 600-800grit wet and dry, so that you're left with a matt finish panel, then paint it up.

That is a nice looking bonnet, how many goes did it take to get it good enough? or is that the first and only?

20% off everything, sounds great.

i love it, added to 'Christmas List' :)

not planning on getting my car resprayed for a while and the paint is quite dull, could it be used just in the gelcoat until the respray is done?

all our items are made in a paintable gel coat, it simply requires prep and paint as you would a steel panel

lol, thats the 1st one, and all the ones after that will be the same, its all about plugs and quality moulds, thats what takes the time

My car is the one i am sitting on in my signature, looks off white but is actually beige apparently!
Though my roof is black so maybe i could match it to that?

yeah, the white would be different, as you can see on the pics above, the bonnet is bright white! so if your not painting straight away black could be the way to go
