[George16v]

Will this bonnet work as a direct replacement of the standard bonnet?

Yes i believe so mate

 

[George16v]

Am I better off finding a proper one though.

 

[Smokey]

Depends what you want it for to be honest mate.

You after go or show?

The skins are extremely flimsy and imo look crap.

 

[George16v]

Go! - Have found a place that will do them for £325 in Carbon Fibre.

 

[Smokey]

For a proper bonnet with OEM fitment? Thats not a bad price fella.

Try to get one with windscreen washer holes already there etc if your not confident drilling your new bonnet.

Go! - Have found a place that will do them for £325 in Carbon Fibre.

Is that a full proper one wiht OE fitment etc?

If so, i'm interested, see if they will do a group buy

 

[George16v]

Yes it is matey - I will be going along to look at one in the next few weeks and will report back the findings. They are hand made and will fit on the original hinges apparently a direct replacement hehe

 

[Lunner]

Get plenty of pics mate, of both sizes, and find out if it comes wiht any sort of guarentee ref fitting.

Where are they based?

Rather take my car there and fit it there and make them mod it if it doesn't fit

 

[George16v]

They are near Reading dude.

 

[northy]

me me me

 

[Lunner]

Reading is do-able about an hour or so, think there woudl be alot of interest in a group buy
