On a scale of 1 to 10, how stupid is........

So the answer to the original question, not taking into account the hours of work......is quite stupid! Ah well, too late now, it's shining like a summer sun! So, I'll drive a little faster to improve airflow and reduce temperatures and keep an eye on the temp gauge. Fortunately, she runs quite cool so all will be good I'm sure. And, if I have to remove the bonnet to effect repairs when I break down........I can bathe in the glory of the shine within!

Dunno, you can let us know next summer , you'll notice if your driving shoes melt and stick your foot to the tunnel , mind with the CSR thats always a possibility anyway :-)

Paul,maybe you can get some smarty points by pointing out to your partner that you only did it to help with their Tan next time you have a spin up to Bamburgh

Brilliant! Tim!! Almost exactly the right size and shape......however the inside of my bonnet is way shinier! I would post the "finished" picture, but my phone camera resolution is way too high and haven't yet downloaded to a PC, dropped the resolution, resaved, uploaded to my profile area etc etc.........but that's a whole different thread on BC at the mo.....
