what do you think?

[RuFF21]

ive just been quoted 588 quid for some damage that a bunch of chavs did a while back. One of the things needed is a new bonnet, cause of this price i thought well i might as well get a carbon bonnet. What are the going prices of these on a mk2 ph1? also do they look out of place on a black car?

what are your thoughts?

Go for it, i know opinion is split on them but i love my carbon bonnet, got mine on a monaco blue mk2 ph1, looks sweet, would be nice and subtle too on a black car, i paid 105 quid off ebay for a brand new ktec one!!! but generally they seem to be around 200- 250, my only issue with it is there is no bonnet stay mount - i dont really want to drill into it to mount one, if you do go for one get some storm wiper sprays so you can get rid of your washer jets, again so you dont have to drill into the bonnet

if youve got a reason to replace the bonnet, ide always look at carbon fibre ones, will work out cheaper than buyin a new one n spraying it.

pattern parts, not bad quality better than the £150 for a new one from renault. steel rather than ally
