    Default XR8 Bonnet Bulge

    Yeah I know, it's not a commodore, but I was hoping someone might own a BA-BF XR8/GT etc. with a bonnet bulge and would be able to post up or send me some pics of the underside of the bonnet. Basically I want to see exactly what the reo skin looks like and how the bonnet engine mat fits etc.
    Cheers,
    Chris

    I have a damaged one for sale if you are chasing the bulge.
    When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all,,,,,,,,,

    Yeah I was looking to stitch the bulge onto a vs bonnet as im not touching fibreglass... Is the bulge on your bonnet undamaged? Im not 100% on whether to do it yet or not, but would certainly be interested depending on price and condition etc. Could you pm me details and a pic?

    the corner of the bonnet has some damage, but the bulge is perfect.
    Another option maybe to have a talk to these guys. http://www.savage-fibreglass.com/index.html

    Great thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I decide to go that way. Any idea of rough price you were chasing? Maybe pm this to me?
