I'm sure someone in aftermarket land will sell one. Just one thing though, don't be fooled in to thinking that a carbon bonnet is overly tough, because first sign of grief they just shatter or crack.

agreed, people seem to think "ooooh, carbon fibres gonna be rate hard!" and it aint really.... its light weight, but its about as brittle as fibreglass......

is it wise having a carbon bonnet with your driving? Icon_wink

Also...Do you work at the same Center Parcs as me as you seem to have Loads of cash!!!!


1. Top 100 Show Car 2. 13 sec 250+bhp RWD monster 3. Daily runabout well detailed 4. New Toy..The Track Car - but i know fuck all about this scene........


Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
