Photoshop assistance, to drive MX5 modification purchase

[DirtyHabit]

Hey all.

is anyone handy with photoshop who may be able to help me out a little?

i’m looking at getting bonnet vents for the ND, but in the pictures ive seen of them (verus, and singular) i dont much like how they look. both are functional and so ‘fashion’ is a second consideration for the product designer but they look too ‘universal’ to my liking.
but, i want the function!

so what i had in mind, was to mask them with some vinyl.
I will just focus on the Singular vents, as ive found some good quality pics of them fitted to my car colour

Pictures:

what i was thinkng, was some sort of ‘V’ shape from the A pillars down to the Badge, in order to incorporate the bonnet vents.
however as you can see from the below… my paint skills are as good now as they were in '96! no improvement.

if anyone has some creative flair or ideas for a design, would love to see it
if the shape of the Verus vents make for a better template then that works for me. both are similar purchase price.

So you want the vents cut out, but the rest of the Vee sat on top of the bonnet?
Otherwise your bonnet will be in 3 pieces!
Do you have to inform insurance company that you’re changing the structure of your car?

vents cutout. as they come.
but then using black vinyl to create a ‘shape’ to blend them in / hide their appearence a little.

I cant find many good examples online. but a couple of quick ones:

IMO the Verus ones are the better fit as they are fastened from the underneath and look better. You could also paint them ceramic metallic.

i hadnt thought of body colour coding. i had the colour theme of silver/black stuck in my head.

could be an option…

Same colour as the bonnet could work. They will be noticeable without looking like artifacts

[DirtyHabit]

well i had to turn to A.I to colour match for me.
turnd out quite well ? lol. bloody thing. it just erased them.

sorry @BlueAgave for using your images as the guniea pig.
