A good buy?

[Da]

...well I sure hope it turns out to be as good as it looks

clicky

 

[TheCake]

Thats cheap mate. Lets hope its worth it!

 

[Da]

Yeah sure hope so Si

 

[Adamhodg]

That is a good buy! :approve: i want one at that price lol.

 

[Pete]

I'd be worried by the no returns and no real pictures of the whole thing, hope it's all alright as that's a bargin!

 

[Leeshez]

Cheap enough and looks A1

 

[Da]

I have the full company address so not too worried about the crappy pics to be honest, but watch this space... Pics will follow once fitted

guid stuff

 

[Middo]

having had a carbon bonnet without washer jets or a bonnet stay i'd never ever buy another one without them as its such a pain the arse its unreal. however it does look soo good when the sun hits the carbon that it makes you forget about the grief.

definetely a good buy if its all up to standard

 

[GarethM]

aye as said if its up to standard its a good buy fella

 

[tommyboy]

Good buy indeed

 

[Scutch]

Very good buy and price. Hopefully wont be a shoddy fit

 

[Plattsy]

cheap that id be a bit iffy over it... my mate bought a cheap one and got a dodgy fit.... hope you dont get that prob tho pal

 

[TheCake]

Daz drop me a PM when you update this thread as I know a good company who do windscreen wiper arm mounted washer jets. No more drilling holes

 

[ollie]

cheap :-]

 

[Da]

cheers Si, i'm definitely going for the wiper arm washers Wasn't it me and thee that first discussed the wiper jets over MSN when you was CupCake?

 

[Alan]

Christ on a bike.....deal of the year matey...nice one!!

 

[Da]

lets hope so mate, will keep the thread updated anyhow so fingers crossed! :approve:

 

[Da]

The finish is immaculate and the weave perfect. No damage whatsoever so looks like I got a bargain! Let's just hope the fitment is as good as the quality when I fit it this weekend! :approve:

 

[Middo]

looks awesome daz! I'd def consider scuttle panel washer jets opposed to wiper arm washer jets as i found it more effective. All you need it a three pronged fiat seicento washerjet so you can adjust the three waterjets to the whole windscreen

 

[Has]

Looks good !

Daz, who are you insured with? Has it (or will it) add much to your premium?

Ive just been told they wont cover mine next year so looking for companies who cover Carbon fibre Bonnets.

 

[Da]

it's got the washer jets pre-drilled mark mate so I've gotta stick with convention I'm afraid. On the up side tho it has all the bonnet catch and hinge fixings pre-installed so it's all good :approve:

Has, I'm with elephant. I haven't spoke to them about it yet but I'm over 25 so I wouldn't see a problem. If there is I'll save it till renewal (december) and then switch companies before fitting.

 

[Has]

^^ ah right

Its just finding a company! They told me age wasnt an issue, it was that they no longer covered Carbon Bonnets

strange change, but i got the same thing from various companies

 

[Da]

Who you with at present Has?

 

[bmh.01]

Tesco iirc.

 

[Has]

Tesco iirc.

Yup they cover a hell of a lot of mods and have been with them for 4 years now!

EVERY mod is paid out on a like for like basis and they cover all my after market AV Equipment ( a lot dont)

 

[Da]

cool mate, wonder why they've stopped doing bonnets :S

 

[Has]

No idea, they told me it was a lot to do with the underwriters, hence a lot of other companies stopping the cover.

Got the same reason from lots of them - so it must be legit.

I suppose its a large mod and does make it obvious to others. (maybe theyve had issues)

Want to stay in the good books as i dont like not being insured fully! Liek to know im all legal so no hassle from anyone.

Plus i want to be paid back everything if some t**t hits me or i stack it lol

 

[Da]

have you tried greenlight mate?

 

[Middo]

Mine was insured with CIS, however they dont cover mods anymore. Cant see it being a problem with admiral, greenlight and adrian flux etc, but some companies wont touch you as they claim it changes the structure of your car.

daz- defo got a bargain if its got the catch and pre drilled holes, cant wait to see it!

 

[Da]

well I'm going to ring my insurance tomorrow to see what they say, if I get the go ahead it should be fitted this weekend so pics to follow...

 

[Middo]

If you have problems try telling them its 'carbon covered' and not a carbon skin, which it prob is in all honesty, and then they'll have a job touching you for structural changes. Alternativly keep ringing until u get someone whos too dumb to realise what one is, and puts it on anyway

 

[Da]

lol, cheers Mark As i said I'm with elephant who are mod-friendly so fingers crossed it wont be a problem.

looks extremely quality

 

[Da]

Has, I have spoke to my insurance today and there is no charge for the carbon bonnet! :approve: so give them a bell mate to see what they come back with. I couldn't do mine online as I'm an existing customer, plus they didn't have the option for carbon bonnet on the online modification list.

 

[Da]

still haven't got this fitted, bloody hectic weekend!
