• Professional Adjustment: Minor sanding or trimming may be required to achieve a perfect flush fit against the bonnet line.
• Preparation: Requires professional sanding and priming before painting to match your vehicle paint code.
• Expert Fitment: We strongly recommend installation by a qualified body shop experienced in FRP products to ensure a professional finish.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will this fit both Series 1 and Series 2 VE models?
Yes, the bonnet profile remained consistent across the VE range, making this compatible with all VE models including Omega, SS, and HSV variants.

How is the lip attached?
Most installers use a high-strength automotive adhesive (such as Sikaflex) to secure the lip to the bonnet. Professional fitment ensures it remains secure at high speeds.

What is the difference between Hand Laid and Chopper Gun?
Chopper guns spray random glass strands, leading to brittle sections. Our Hand Laid process manually layers glass mats, ensuring a better resin-to-glass ratio and higher impact resistance.

Does it come painted?
No. It arrives in a raw gel-coat finish. It requires standard preparation, priming, and painting by a professional to match your vehicle perfectly.
