Carbon fiber bonnets

[Gelder]

just wondered who's likes them and who doesn't i'm thinking of buying this and just wondered what people thought

what do you reckon???

 

[Lou]

I think they are nice but minus the vents in it!

 

[Englebert]

Not sure about them on the Clio, have bought one for the NSX though...

That EVO style vent is just silly.

 

[Gelder]

yeh i think they look good without them just thought the one with the vents was a bit different lol its an expensive mod tho it's like £375 without vents and £410 with them

Why you post everything in bold? Its anoying. Stop it.

 

[Englebert]

Lol.

 

[Blue4Ever]

I quite like them on black cars, that one with the vents is rediculous though.

I'd really like a plain carbon one on my black 182...would look sweet!!
I say go for it mate,but a big no no to the vents

 

[leeds_182]

That one in the pic is total gash but I like standard ones. Was gonna go for one when I had the 182 but at around 400 I just could not justify it.

i think the vent looks a bit big for the bonnet

DarthCake u moaning old lady

 

[jamesy]

i think they are pure sex anyone that does'nt like them should be beaten and raped by monks

 

[Peperami]

They look good, but from when i saw k-tecs demo car, the vent looks a bit too big for the bonnet.

Get one without, look good, save weight from the front, and lower the centre of gravity.

 

[dale172]

get a smooth one(no vents) and yea look Mustard! esp on black or silver

 

[GordonD]

Do you want show or go?

If you want show they're nice.

If you want go they're a waste of money because all the ones I've seen are made for show. If they really saved weight they'd be nice. But they all weight as much or nearly as much as a standard bonnet.

 

[Peperami]

Uh? depends if ur on about a skin, or an actual carbon bonnet? ^^

A proper carbon bonnet weighs approx 6kg less than a standard one...

3kg on a clio

 

[Peperami]

3kg on a clio

As little as that! crikey.

Be better having a poo before you race and saving 300quid then?

 

[Fred@BTM]

uh huh! our old skin was about 2kg

std = 11kg IIRC
carbon = 8kg

 

[Dubai182]

Who actually does it to save weight though honestly? Its a styling mod. Any weight gain is just a bonus..and bonuses mean prizes.

 

[Middo]

as above look good on black cars, and without the vents.... not that i'm biased or anything

 

[midge]

look good on blue cars with white wheels

 

[glyn1980]

get the one in the pic, the vent is cool. Whats the point getting a plain one , won't look much different and will cost you £370?????

 

[Martin]

ripoff get a fibreglass bonnet if you wanna save weight...or stick on carbon film if you are a style beeatch!
