You could try and find a phantom grey oem bonnet save you on wrapping or paint

think if you were to keep the red bonnet you would need to break it up a bit man like red styling on sides or a bit of black through the red on bonnet. rather than block black and block red.

I'd swap man, but my phantom grey one has got a scratch on it and cutouts for Aero-Catches.

The scratch is through to metal and has slight surface rust along it (no wider than the scratch though. It'd be an easy fix, but would need to be resprayed, which means the whole bonnet as it's metallic, so not worth your trouble really.

Yeah, wrap it to match the rest mate. I think that's the only way it will look right if the rest of the car is wrapped. ;)
