Default Poll - do I spray the bonnet or the scoop?

I've now got a second hand bonnet after I broke mine, and its fitted to the car

It's a red car and the bonnet is black (doner car was blue - not sure I like the blue car / black bonnet look) so I have a few options:

Do I leave it as is (cheapest option), do get the bonnet sprayed red (expensive) or get the scoop sprayed black to match the bonnet (middle cost option)?

I've had my bonnet a different colour since i replaced the old dented one for an alloy one i got dirt cheap....

It has grown on me so much over the last 6-9 months that i'm probably not gonna bother spraying it too match for a while longer.

not too everyones taste though!

But scoobs in general have the touch of chav with them - surely it'd add to the image ?

The rea & black looks cool.
The blue & white I am not sure of but could be worth it in Brighton.
