Cheers mate

 

Thats cool, i really like it, very original + darkside
Gonna have to keep the engine bay spottless for full effect

 

is that road legal? is so thats one of the most original mods ive seen, unless it melts from engine heat lol

 

Pho to shop !

 

how do you know?

 

I just do!

 

Ha ha

Ive been rumbled... Got a few of you going though

Still looks cool though

 

Somone now needs to make one for real

 

Yeah i wonder if they could??

Supose it could be done

Would have to make a mould smaller than the OEM bonnet, then maybe vaccum form the perspex over the top???

Trouble is.. making it and not damaging the surface so it gets any marks on it

 

Would be a cool mod to have tho

 

I saw an Ford Sierra Cossy with part of the bonnet in clear purspex and the rest in metal. This I saw a good few years ago at a car museum.

 

Dave68, how is this done in Photoshop, I'd love to be able to create this effect

 

Easy.

Firstly, get a tripod and a digital camera. Secondly point it your car/bonnet, Thirdly take one pic with the bonnet clossed, then take one with the bonnet open.

Now, now upload these two images to your PC/Mac and open up your image editing. Photoshop. With the open bonnet pic, using the marquee tool select the engine bay area inculding part of the wing and wipers. Once you are happy with what you have sellected, copy and paste your selected ehgine bay onto the pic with the bonnet closed. Now place the engine so it sits right. Then change the opacity on the layers palette to something like 30%-45%.

 

Thats my attempt from a little while ago.... done without a tripod!

 

As above but you don't need the marquee tool, or select anything, do it in 2 layers and remove the opaque bonnet in the up position with the eraser tool

 

U got me there

 

got me too, but looking back carefully you can see one or two flaws...

for instance... where is the under bonnet tray that channels the air to the intercooler.

bloody looks good on a black car though... the future of modding!!

 

Couple of mine...

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, now thats a shiny car... did you have it detailed just before taking those pictures fella?

andy

 

Just a quick wash and dry I think mate I think the shine did the see through bonnet effect no favours though as it quite tricky to see through it with the reflections.....

 

yeah but that adds to an amazing effect of shiny perspex, or even a glass bonnet!! it looks the nuts with the extra gleam... take a bloody compliment you perfectionist!!!

 

Cheers

 

Looks

 

 

I lol'd at the ppl who fell for it
