Do I need a new bonnet?

Post by matty137 »

My bonnet is peeling! The vinyl/plastic type coating is comming off the car and water is now able to seep under the remaining vinyl. is there any way I can reapply vinyl onto the spots where it has come off or do I need a new bonnet? If i do then where can I buy one from that will match the colour of my car and will it look odd as my car is 14yrs old and presumably the rest of the car has faded (its blue).
