    Default Nova carbon bonnet --> we found waldo...

    Hi Nova ppl!
    I recently made a fibreglass bonnet for my nova. Now that i have a proper molde i want to go carbon , BUT i'm almost certain that it's not possible to make a carbon look bonnet that is a perfect match of the original part.
    Please show me im wrong by posting pics where i can c nova carbon look bonnets :!:

    Ste novavanman was planning on making up some fibreglass and carbon panels, might be worth asking him if he's got any carbon moulds/prototype bonnets done yet

    didnt Dan (djpy2k) mave a carbon bonnet on his mentalist Nova.

    You'll not get hold of him though coz his sold it and gone abroad.

    Cannae find a pic of the bonnet either - sure he had a huge vent in it too

    Ok but was the bonnet painted or simply carboon look? As i said i think its possible to make a decent carbon bonnet but i dont have the same feeling about a carbon look. The only way must be painting it afterwards...still waiting :|

    Hmm... I'm a bit confused as to what you want now, do you want ones that just look like carbon, i.e. a metal bonnet but with the carbon look film layered on them; or do you want a proper full 100% made-from-carbon bonnet?

    I want to see a 100% carbon bonnet.

    PLUS: want to c the same bonnet with "carbon look" finish. Its easy to do a carbon bonnet and the painting black or whatever...not so easy is to make a carbon look one (means no need to paint)
