I had to choose something for my HSC major design project so i decided to do a bonnet for the VR. I picked up a second hand bonnet from the wreckers for $80. The bonnet I got from the wreckers was red, so i stripped back the paint and went to town with an angle grinder. I copied the style of the new clubbys and changed a couple of angles. I cut out the templates for the scoops out of sheet metal and braised them in, using oxy. I used body filler and fibreglass to shape the scoops, sanding them after every go. Doing this many times to get them perfect. Once i was satisfied with the bonnet, it was ready for paint. I got the paint from my local auto paint store. I got the paint colour matched to alaskan white for $40 for 1 litre. I first sprayed the bonnet with primer, then three coats of white.
All up the bonnet cost me around the $280 mark. (not including all the tools and painting gear, I already had)
