SP450andLE Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 I will do it. Before any of you bastards steal my idea I emailed one auto-upholsterer and he suggested a sign-writer - WTF? Oh well... Ideas on colours? The car is question is the one in my Avatar. I was thinking black, to match the roof. In that case, scoop will be OEW to match the wheels I will put on.

SP450andLE Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 TBH - It will look like someone took a massive shit on your bonnet then spread it round with a fro comb.. That's cool. Can't say I sit around thinking about shit and fro combs. So I can't picture that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 it never looked shit on a roof, so why would it look shit on a bonnet, and yes black is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 it never looked shit on a roof, so why would it look shit on a bonnet, and yes black is the way to go. So by your reasoning if hair looks good on a girls head then it must be sweet on her chin too.... Hey but its just my opinion if you want to do it - go for it and report back with pictures..

Spencer Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 There are plenty of examples of shit looking vinyl roofs out there! go look through some american cars of the 70's, some of the half vinyl tops with opera windows are particularly gross. It also makes plenty of muscle cars look shit, I am a fan though on the right car or to keep an original theme going. Anyway it will look shit house on a bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 my reasoning is that a mini bonnet is tiny, so it wont look over done, he has a spare so who cares if it does look shit. noones done it before by the sounds of it, so imagine what people said to the guy who first lowered a car?

BS5620 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 My flatmate who used to be a sign writer did one of our tutors bonnets in a carbon fibre vinyl. Turned out real nice, didnt take long either. Sign writer would be the best person to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS5620 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 He isn't talking about vinyl stickers. He's talking about vinyl roof vinyl realised that. This was a full vinyl wrap not stickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 vinyl wrap IS vinyl stickers, just one big one, the vinyl we are talking about is 'upholstery' vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 or "Cloth Vinyl/Vinyl Cloth" would be more correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 did you just say do it in Aligator skin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Snake skin! sssssssssssss im a snake (side to side head movement) I reckon you should do it, vinyl is sweet. Datsun had some real suave styles on the larger sedans. Black is cool, maybe even a real dark maroon if it was an available option? Where this thread came un-stuck was by adding 'wrapping'!
