197 Carbon bonnet...

After a few months of debating i finally decided to buy a carbon bonnet for the car.

Alot of people said it wouldnt look right on a 197 but after seeing an R26.R in the flesh at FCS i couldnt see how it wouldnt look good.

Overall im happy with the bonnet, excellent quality and great fit. Slightly lighter than standard item too :approve:

Opinions welcome, will get better shots from a distance tomorrow with the Clios in Convoy meet. Thanks for looking.

( A few cheeky pics of the CF Diffuser too, seeing as i havent had a chance to show it off on the forum yet. )

What's the finish on the bonnet like compared to the diffuser? (Streamline I'm assuming..) All you need now is a carbon splitter to finish it off nicely :)

What happens to your windscreen wash jets lol??

You get washer jets supplied but i couldnt bring myself to drilling into the carbon fibre :dead:

So now i keep some fast glass spray handy and just stick my hand out the window and spray it on to the windscreen, whack the wipers on and job done :rasp:

Looks great that! I look forward to giving it the once over if I make it down tomorrow in the right place at the right time (and on the right day!)
