A bonnet bulge similar the E90 m3s?
That's kinda the plan but it'll still be very tall, I guess you need to see it in person to see how tall the throttle body actually is.
It'll look like a BMW bulge just very long and wide to try blend the height in a little.
I want it to look rather unassuming when parked up in the tesco car park or wherever.
To the point where only a car person will know that it's not standard.

Get a good PDR guy on those - they can do ally well if they're good.
Pdr?
Panel dent remover? I don't know what you mean.
Paintless Dent Repair.

I always think that means the paint flies off when you poke it from behind (oo-er!) with a pointed stick but they heat it up so it doesn't.

And it temporarily de-anneals the aluminium.

If it had a wide arch kit on it,then you could do what you want to the bonnet.as it wouldn't look out of place :-))

Unfortunately, that was for the long-stroke diseasel version of the normally excellent oversquare CIH engine.

A Holden-style LS/6-71 transplant is begging...
