Titanium Bonnet vent

My bonnet vent was a bit discoloured. Think it came in brunel but decided to respray in titanium silver. I'm in the process of updating the badging to titanium so though it would look better matching. Any opinions? (sorry don't have a before pic!)

Halfords BMW titanium paint. Colour match not so important as it isn't near enough to anything to compare! My Previous RR's!

I think it looks really good.

Nice job.


I've got one of them and a SC Grille that both need painting. Might be worth a go- at least it will get them out the garage!

Thumbs Up

Nothing really to prep. It was that dull that it didn't really need sanding. Just cleaned thoroughly and wiped with thinners to degrease. 2 coats of plastic primer then two coats of colour. I didn't bother with lacquer because I didn't want too shiny a finish as per standard finish.

Looks 100% better than it was. Very Happy My Previous RR's!

Any special tips for removing the panel I.e disconnecting washer jets etc? Or does it simply clip off. Thumbs Up Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

It has 4 white clips that are visible from underneath and a couple of pop clips at the ends. I released the four white ones from underneath then just prised it up at each end to release. For jets, just pull pipes off and disconnect power then remove the jets themselves once its off (just push out) My Previous RR's!
