Ike Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Some of you might remember that our Elysion had a horrible looking bonnet. I don't know where the previous owner was driving and why did he decide to 'repair' it this way, but it looks like a victim of a nasty case of chicken pox. When we finally decide what do we want to do with it, we did. I am aware it will not be for everyone taste, but you know, you do you Yes it has a '3D effect', yes it was coated with protection. If you are curious, we plan to make a total overhaul in the unforeseeable future, but we wanted something to be done about it now. I will report on the progress later, as we are not done yet. Additionally, I re-attached the grill. A few weeks ago, I opened a thread asking how to deal with a damaged grill as the mounting points were mostly broken and thanks to @PTR200S and other contributors (THANK YOU! 👏) I figure out what to use and how to re-attach it. So far, so good, will report if it works in the long run after some driving I have to do in upcoming days. Hopefully I will inspire some of you to be brave, love your car and make it your own - even when it can be polarising. Cheers! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted May 22, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Pete beat me to it and i like it too. As a custom job for the sake of a custom job, i'd probably say no but as a repair, especially on a pearlescent finish to start it's an excellent idea - gets round trying to match a very difficult finish and, surprisingly, colour! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted May 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Exactly our thinking @Laird_Scooby. We would not be able to match colour nor finish of the original paint, so whilst we are not ready to do it professionally, we can other looks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted May 23, 2023 Administrators Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Looks great and I like the bit on the engine cover, reminds me of a valve cover I did on a CRX. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
