Bonnet across Britain

Just the grille would be fantastic, because of the obvious postage issues of getting a bonnet to Holland

This is the grill but is too small to do , and also because the logo take room.

Have you considered the idea of the bonnet making a more random journey around the UK?

For instance… If a member collects and takes it to their home location for signing, photos etc. The next location would not need to be along a definite South/North/South route but wherever the next member offers to take it. Wouldn’t matter if it travelled from Newquay to Aberdeen on one leg and then crossed the country from Bristol to Norwich on another!
Would keep an element of surprise perhaps?
Just an idea

As far as I'm aware Hillary that is the idea - but generally the bonnet will follow a path in most cases as many people won't drive far for fun. It looks like we have some of our German friends coming to AITP show again so hopefully we can also gain some international signatures. Looking forward to seeing this.
 
Just mentioned the alternative idea of a random route as I thought the suggestion was to plan a fixed route in advance?

I think if we have enough people show interest to know that we can almost get it around the country with a bit of travelling then it will be a success. Once it has set off on its journey then we can look for volunteers with this thread.

As long as it doesn't get to someone and then sit on their garage for a couple of months then it should be fine. I think it should be relaxed enough to make it fun but still have enough guidance so it doesn't flop after a couple of hurdles.

I'm sure with the enthusiasm of our members it will be a success.
 
The thing I am unsure about and would like people's opinion on is whether each person should make a contribution to charity as they receive it or whether it should be 'free' and then the bonnet gets auctioned at the end of its journey to raise the money?

i think it would be nice to suggest that people donate to a charity of their choice and perhaps have a sticky where people can say what charity they donated to (and if they wanted how much) AND also auction it to raise money. Perhaps giving each charity that people have donated to a number and at the end of its travels use something like Mike does for the Audi driver magazine subscription and at ADI (or a.n.other social) use the random number selector to decide which charity gets the money
 
A grille shaped box arrived yesterday :) I'm assuming it's from George. Will get it unpacked at the weekend.

The good news is, now that I have the black FSI breaker we can use a black bonnet for 'bonnet across Britain' which should blend much better with every colour of A2.
 
I unpacked the grille from George yesterday. It looks even better than in the photos. He's done a fantastic job and I can't wait to get it on to the black bonnet for ADI.

George you should start offering a custom grille service because you've got some great skills :) Thank you.
