Default silver wagon, black bonnet

as the title really, ive bought a aluminium black bonnet to go on my my96 wagon as mine is badly stone chipped and scratched. just wondered if any one has pics of their silver wagons with black bonnet to give me an idea how it looks before i fit it tom. also do i swap over the scoop so its black with silver scoop? and vents? swap them too and have silver scoop an vents against the black? opinions welcome.

My opinion mate is all black, it might have worked the other way (silver bonnet black bits) but the way you quote not for me.. colour code!

ok thanks for your opinion bud, the wagon is 406 silver. the bonnet has the subaru stars and swoosh lettering and graphic in gold which im not sure about, will wait and see when its on. anyone any idea how to remove these graphics without ruining the paint underneath?

Hair dryer to warm up the glue then slowly pull off keeping the heat in the graphics. WD40 once off will remove any glue left behind. Then polish and wax.

cheers m8, will the glue leave an impression where u can still make out the letters tho? we have an 18t truck in work we bought second hand which had the previous companys livery and logos on the doors etc and you still see it at certain angles. id rather leave them on if you can still see the outlines underneath.

Sorry for the late reply, I would have gone with that!
