Its when the bonnet of you van/car come slightly over your headlights it’s a small piece which is welded on normally at a slight angel giving it a MEAN look!!! Or the alternative is eyebrows this is plastic which is suck at the top of the headlights. Looks half decent is well.

local plod gave our saturday boy some treatment for the "bad boy" bonnet we did for his fiesta van a couple of years ago.He solved the problem by smashing the whole car up as expected.All my hours of filler work lying on the floor!
