hotxr8 Member 49 Member For: 14y 7m 27d Gender: Male Posted 15/09/12 09:06 AM Share Posted 15/09/12 09:06 AM (edited) Just had a aftermarket xr8 bonnet supplied, painted and fitted at the local panel shop, $730.It's a BA, panel gapes are good, fit is good, and it vibrates no more than the genuine one on my wife's BA XR8, or my mates BF XR8!And the guys at the panel shop said that for a aftermarket part it is quite good panel thickness wise.

Too cheap to pass up.Can't wait for the slight change.

Bonnet's shouldn't be vibrating.The back edge wobbles abit when going over bumps, just like my wifes genuine bonnet on her XR8.I never noticed it before, but then I've never looked at my bonnet when I was driving before.

MADF6 Member 399 Member For: 17y 4m 19d Posted 22/11/12 11:16 PM Author Share Posted 22/11/12 11:16 PM After one week with the bulge I'm not sure I want to keep it.It's a genuine steel Ford bonnet in perfect condition. What would be a reasonable asking price for it if I was to flog it off...? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81897-best-v8-bonnet-option-for-bfii-f6-%C2%BF/page/3/#findComment-1328861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
