Chequer Plate for RDX Bonnet?
Hey folks,

I'm wondering if the standard Puma bonnet chequer plate will fit on an RDX bonnet, maybe need some fettling to fit??

Anybody tried that and if so how did you get on?





Cheers

It would need some serious cutting in my opinion......also it's pressed and welded at the rear edge so cutting it at the front part of the bulge may make it warp perhaps as any tension may be released.

Ok, thanks.

Looks like my plan is doomed before it started Wink

Back to the drawing board!

Im sure ive seen chequer plate kits that had the bulge and the rest of the bonnet separate, might be worth a look if I can find it, if not, how handy are you with metal work?

Handy enough, but if I can avoid it I will Smile

At the end of the day I'm not bothered about covering the vent part of the RDX bonnet as long as it looks neat Wink

Will give it some thought.

Cheers

Cheers, looks viable, to me, just need to figure out how dimensionally similar to the puma bonnet the RDX one is Smile
