Yes nice black widey. I think I will have the only widey in Aus with a std flat bonnet!

Well, the original sticker on them was ARE, they are suppose to
be made by Ronal.
They were a dealer option on the cars.
I have only seen 3 or 4 sets.
They are 8's and 9's, I am not sure of the rear offset, but I run
255/50's with room to spare(but the camber is off a little).

There are no marking at all on the car.
People were guessing everything, so to confuse them even more
I put these Porshe hub covers on.

They look similar to Globe bathurst mags .They were copies of a Ferrari wheel

I remember someone saying that in the past,
but didn't they have a circle around the middle.

i had a set of those on my old sigma turbo, except the centre was a light grey.
were 7 and 8 inches wide, and i think 15inch diameter.

but yeah, csa's sound about right.

I like the vented bonnet but I was bought up with the Starions and it is like a VN commodore vs a VZ model to me. Why in my eyes would I want the old model? There is enough wedge detail in the car without the fussyness of all the vents for my liking but that is only my opinon.

thrash · Post by **thrash** » Mon Sep 01, 2008 10:13 pm

vents are cool.. gives the car a muscle car look.. woulda been cooler if the vents had a purpose though.. why hasn't anyone tried opening up the bonnet scoop and putting a flat pannel air filter directly under it?? short path to turbo.. fresh air supply.. what's the problem?

no scoop is cool too..gives the car a nice sleek look.. plus it's not any worse at cooling than the scooped bonnet.. shame really.. all in the name of show..

i currently have two bonnets, both with scoops.. might swap one with someone for a scoopless bonnet so i can have the best of both worlds :D

I like the scoopless bonnet but I like the side vents the scoop bonnet has. It really depends on each car in question, some look good with the scoop (above), and some just don't look right at all with a scoop (ie a beige over brown two tone early import model with no chin spoiler and narrow rims for example)
