    Question paint it or leave it

    hi my bonnet was wrecked on my VR so i went and got another one couldnt find the same colour but what i found in my price range was this

    its got 5 signitures in total one is perkins racing 07' team i cant figure out what the others are but one is from 08 and another doesnt have a year

    so my question is paint it or leave it cause it doesnt match my paint as you can see

    Would've thought it'd be cheaper to get a bonnet with out the signtures on it...?

    If its not brock's signature I'd paint over it, but if you like any of the drivers/think it could be worth something to someone, maybe find another one and throw this one on ebay see what it brings

    Could also be some kids/young fellas mucking about though...?

    Why not keep it just in case? I've seen lots of bonnets go for <$50 on eBay

    mask these ones with thin ass tape or adhesive, paint the bonnet, then use petrol and wipe adhesive off, viola

    good idea vn_v6 might just do that cause it looks stupid with the group A scoop on it which matches the rest of the car

    Reckon you could sell that bonnet for more than you can get another one for. Someone will love Larry and his team and be prepared to pay dollars for the signatures.
