Some people may have these this on the Facebook group, but I thought it was worth adding here too.

Since I first bought my Coupe I've been plagued by the 4 inch long scratch on the bonnet, which at some time in the past a previous owner has made a right botch job of repairing. I tried my best to buff it up and make it less noticable, but it has continued to torment me. Taking it to a body shop would no doubt result in much sucking through teeth, telling me that most of the car will need resprayed to cover it and no doubt, considerable amounts of my money, so an alternative had to be sought.

Enter an old mate of mine who just happens to run his own vinyl graphics company. I took the car up to him and we kicked around a few ideas before deciding that an Italian flag stripe up the length of the bonnet would be the best way to go. i suggested the Pininfarina crest to finish it off, and I have to say I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.

Good solution, as well as quite a nice thing to do in itself and looks smart against yellow.

Only criticism is the colours of the Italian tricolour.
