Default Bonnet with Buldge from Ebay??

Just looking on ebay and found this bonnet and was wondering if anyone had ever had any dealings with this particular seller??

Interested to know if the quality is ok or if I should stay clear??

Any feedback will be much appreciated.

A friend of mine bought one of these about 4 months ago, he said it was ok and fit his car rather well. Other than that I can't be of any better help , sorry.

Well I bit the bullet and bought one of these. Picked it up on Tuesday and fitted it briefly. Have not adjusted the hinges as they need to move about 2mm towards the drivers side. I won't be leaving this on the car until next year so don't wanna change the position from my current bonnet.

**## Must point out that these guys (performancelamps) from eBay run a very tidy business and are very professional (located in Bayswater Vic) ##**


But the quality is really good. The only thing is the corners the skin is wrapped around ok but on the underside they are a little sharp as it is not quite wrapped fully. There is also a slight dint where the washer water hole is cut on the passenger side. These though are really nit picking the quality.

Can't wait to get it painted in the new year along with my front bumper and guards. (Will be deleting the hole for the Ariel)

Here is a couple of quick pics taken with my phone.

Looks good and I wish also that they had made them for the XR's.
I think my Lucifa would look fine with one of those.

Someone in another thread said they were meant to do it for the XR's but they accidentally did the wrong bonnet :(

No one makes them for xrs. Maybe yours as a fibreglass buldge grafted to it ?
