Wouldn't putting that bonnet on any BX that didn't have the commensurate 'bollocks' to really need a 'power bulge' look similarly daft? :shock:

I actually like this bonnet. Also the word 'bulge' is pretty evocative! :D

Unfortunately I'm just a bit too far out on the continent to make this practical unless one of the 'Classic Challenge' lads want to strap it to their roof?

At least it's just a bulge, and not a fake scoop that doesn't even go anywhere

Fit it to a TD and make the bulge into a scoop... and it would go to the intercooler. Sort of.

I'm not taking a roof rack... sorry :wink: :lol:

You can get a bonnet in the back of a BX hatch.

edit: I should say, a BX bonnet. A Smart Car bonnet wouldn't exactly be a massive achievement eh?

Vanny,

Put me down for this please.

I'm abroad with work at the moment, I'll contact you at the weekend to sort out more details.

Thanks,

I haven't yet heard from MikeP so i'm guessing he no longer wants it, so any other takers?
