Carbon fibre bonnets, hmm

[VIICarCare]

Ok guys. Now im getting the itch to do a few things to her now she's shiny

really like cf bonnets, an think it would look great! Has any one got pics of black rs 172/82/v6's ?

Also want to get a quicksilver backbox

one more, are eibach springs standard on the v6?

Thanks!

 

[dajones]

i think CF bonnets on black clios are the way forward

i know its a non rs but didnt bloooooor have one on his?

 

[Ali]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO To the bonnet!

&

DEFO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO To the Exhaust. Sounds guff and looks even worse!

 

[clio_luke]

im not really a fan of too much carbon. it can look tacky. i think a bonnet would be too much.

 

[VIICarCare]

And the springs?

 

[Ali]

And the springs?

they don't exist. Although i could get some made for you. I got a set made for mine. They were too hard tho imo!! Better off with coils, but your lookin at 1500-1700min for them!

 

[jayxx83]

carbon on black gold looks the tits. here is my old one

 

[Ali]

Can't tell from that pic. But from other angles they look flat and grey!

 

[Naith]

go for it, would look brilliant!

and do the sidepods too

indeed , please dont ruin your vee

 

[seb]

i would say all you want to do with a vee at most is a wee lower as per Ali's comments. Ali's vee looked toight at fcs.

they look amazing standard with a slight tweak.

carbon bonnet = fail imo.

can't comment on the exhaust tbh.

 

[VIICarCare]

cheers for your thoughts. I just wanna put my stamp on it!

When I had the wheels off I noticed the springs are eibach + the dampner/center bit's are koni?

Is that not standard then?

 

[cat171]

I hate CF bonnets, but seeing as your cars black it might not look bad at all.

The dampers on mine are koni (mk1 though) and I think i've got eibach springs.

Fred is your man for this sort of thing, he knows loads.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I want a CF bonnet, and CF mirror covers too .. I think it will look subtle especially on the black !

Group buy from streamline or k-tec ? haha

 

[Tom 46]

go for it, would look brilliant!

and do the sidepods too

+1 would look ace!!

 

[VIICarCare]

well done fella's! seens as my cars black it wont stick out like the dogs b****cks! unlike on white or yellow .... group buy then?

 

[Fred@BTM]

quicksilvers are massively over rated IMO (yes i would say that!) and the only good (read perfect) quality CF bonnet i've seen is from streamline

 

[Timmay]

cs bonnet would be nice

then come take me for a spin?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Think it would look good!

Only on a black one though

 

[Riad]

Do it!

 

[Ali]

As above Koni/Eibach is the stock set up! Very capable too!

Your Vee is one of the best no doubt. Keep it that way! By all means lower but go for a sensible height, not like mine last yr... I've gone off this whole LOW image.

 

[Revels]

I like carbon on black. Do it.

Side pods, too.

 

[Curtis!]

Sorry I have no PH2 pics

 

[Cunney]

Small hatch backs aren't the right shape for a full on carbon bonnet imo, takes up too much of the car, although I do really like them on bonnets like the 197 where's its a smaller proportion

 

[Timmay]

altho that v6 above looks mint with it

 

[Tav]

I'd have a carbon bonnet but I'd paint it the same colour as the car on the outside, stealthy!

 

[Ali]

lol. So no point in having one then! lol

 

[Cunney]

lol. So no point in having one then! lol

lol agreed, unless you're some weight saving freak

 

[VIICarCare]

cheers for the piccy alex, im still undecided!

carbon fog light surrounds, splitter, bonnet? Dont want her too look chav tho!

 

[Fletcher]

I'd keep it standard.

 

[BenMc]

if ya guna carbon fibre it .... dont just geta carbon fibre wrap then if you dont want it anymore or come to selling it just take the wrap off lol

 

[Tav]

lol. So no point in having one then! lol

If you're just using it as automotive bling then there's no point in having it...posing is lameeee

Topside:

Bottom:

Now that is understated cool!

 

[RussZS]

Don't mess with it Dawn

Buy some more wax - Vintage perhaps?

 

[MT AUDIO]

Sorry I have no PH2 pics

i just exploded

 

[Mr J Cake]

i got a cup and as standard it looked like a girls car.

got mirrors and fogs in this pic just imagine it standard lol

But slap a carbon bonnet
on and hey presto you
have a rear view mirror
monster.



GRRRRRRRRRR

But most peeps on here hate carbon but me i love the stuff.

plus a few kilo's off total weight here and there cant be bad.

Do it, get Everything you can least ya know you'll be happy with it
who really cares what any1 else thinks its your car.

 

[ben_r1]

You can never have enough carbon IMO

 

[Chris V6 255]

If u are gonna put a carbon bonnet on the V6 then put a bag of sand under the bonnet!
The front end of the V6 is light enough without making it any lighter.
From a cosmetic point of view I think it would look good

 

[matthewsimone]

sorry guys but dont no how anyone can say cf bonnets look good on any car imo they are an absolute mess they look awful and a total rip off for something that makes your car look shite, they should pay you to drive round with them on your car's lol
