That really does look nice :)

scuttle - open bonnet -- 4 screws, oh and need to remove wiper too (13mm socket)

its not exactly hard to do - just takes alot of time to get it right

i used 2 small tubs of p40 fibreglass (£4 each)
and a little filler (already had it but be another 4 quid)
sand paper and some wet n dry (maybe a quid)

then just ya primer and ya paint

and alot of spare time

how do u take the scuttle pannel off?

oh and cheers Bluecorsa :)

fibreglass - sanding - firbreglass - sanding, repeat loads - and filler to smooth it off

who sells smooth scuttle panel's

ive done semi smooth scuttle

how do u take the pannel off

cut a piece of plastic the same shape and stick it ontop then blend it in, will save so many hours and it will be flat, not all over the place, u can get it very cheap from do it wickes etc..

how much does it cost to get the scuttle pannel smoothed.

i not really going to get it done i was just woundering but will probably get it painted though as it would look stupid on a fully colour coded car .
what do u think?

:lol: @ makarus

Nah you wont experience any problems from it. Its a case of the manufacturer being over the top about stuff, smooth away and life will be sweet. :lol:

loads of cars have smooth scuttles,and ive neva seen anyone sayin they have had problems

Yep fillin the holes will restrict the 'fresh' air comming into the car via the heater/vents and it would also restrict the water that drians off of the windscreen, this would mean it draining onto the engine? Shouldnt cause too many problems.

ow and mate just looked at your pics ,sort the wheels out mate .pretty nice car but wheels wheels wheels

yep ,but they wouldnt selll smooth scuttle panels if the holes goin would cause a problem would they.

isn't there a reason why the scuttle panel has holes in it?

smooth scuttle ,jesus this is damn fustrating ,it takes ages.i used glass fibre to start wit and now im on the filler smothing part.it seems to be taking forever.anyone else done there own scuttle,how long did it take you .what method did u use
