I like it, looks functional.
Could probably use something like this on the nose though

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

I think it looks OK but a well finished air box sticking through a hole in the bonnet would look even better and explain to the viewer what is
happening

Jon,
If I were you I'd get Bryn to weld it in place then paint it to match the nose.

I like it, looks like a very good job, if i tried that it really would look poo.
Only comment from me is i reckon if the back of the bulge was open (windscreen end) it would let some heat out of the engine bay and still look
good.
It goes really well with all the other ali panels on your car.
Give a man a fish & it will feed him for a day, give him a fishing rod & you've saved a fish.

I think it's fine, but I'd have edged the cut-out and put the bulge in from below.

Sorry Jon, I think it looks a bit odd... fine workmanship, but it just doesn't look right.
Not sure I can suggest any alternative, so feel free to ignore my opinion entirely!

I must admit it looks a bit off. Fine craftmanship as stated above. Also as stated above if you have to ask you already know.
Is there something cool under there. Perhaps you could get some clear plastic vacuum formed into that shape. That would be a easy job to make as you
already have the mould in the form of the ali bit you've already made.

you could try looking at the westy V8 engine cover - its a bulged centre bit with air intake at front - look at carbon mods for pics - (forget the
price i know)

How about making a similar bulge, but from stainless mesh? Might lessen the visual bulk, but still obscure / cover the greasy bits/sharp edges and as
a bonus also allow some airflow?

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.
