You just need to put on a Burberry cap, add under car neons and LED washer jets, put on a cheap body kit and ill fitting rear spoiler and voila - a bad boy bonnet magically appears at the front of the car :D

Seriously (!), if you must go down that route, you need to have plates welded in the bonnet corners by a metal fabricator, then have them smoothed by lead loading or filler.

But don't forget that bad boy bonnets block part of the headlamp beam outputs, so for that reason I think they are pointless and a step backwards...
 
This is only a Photoshopped 'bad-boy bonnet' I think, but it shows you the idea: https://www.fiatforum.com/cinquecen...boy-not-bad-boy.html?highlight=bad+boy+bonnet

https://www.fiatforum.com/cinquecento-seicento/61094-bad-boy-bonnets.html?highlight=bad+boy+bonnet explains how much a bad-boy bonnet costs.

Yet another way to personify your car I guess, useful if your car looks like hundreds of others on the road and you feel the need to stand out (I haven't been in this position until now, when I have the black Toyota Celica... it has pop-up headlights, so I'm not sure how you do a 'bad-boy bonnet' with those. In fact you don't; you do another silly mod called 'sleepy-eyes' where your headlights only come up halfway and stay there all the time...)

Wasn't that a standard feature on Triumph TR7's? :D

In fact, they also had 'winky eyes' where one headlight would pop up and the other would remain down. Damn unreliable those Triumph pop up headlights were :p
