So after my old 1.4 206, I bought myself a dark blue (Dunno which specific blue) GTi, as you do. Wasn't in great nick, had a missing arch extension, 3 missing mudflaps, passenger door didnt fit properly, handbrake shagged, 1 bald tyre, 1 blowout after 10 miles...
Anyway, I've tidied it up a bit now, but the bonnet is covered in stone chips, and I want it looking better before FCS...
Is it worth wrapping the bonnet? I was thinking Matt Black, because I reckon carbon's been overdone. Or maybe a gloss black... Or something mental, like Ford RS green... Anyone got any opinions?
BTW it's got the SP kit on it, with the shiny bonnet vent.

matt black looks like a poor respray bonnet
gloss black looks like a non-spray bonnet
could do with a pink bonnet i recon.

Haha pink... or orange...
Marc, the problem is they've been touched up already, quite badly too. It actually looks like the bonnet has acne. I think a new bonnet and a respray's in order.

A cheaper option would be a replacement bonnet off ebay.

Not a fan of having the bonnet a different colour from the rest of the car.
I personally would get it resprayed (do it yourself it you can).

you can get a new bonnet for less then the cost of a respray or wrap... and if you were to get it wrapped you will still be able to see any inperfections in the paint underneath.
