There is a fibreglass one on ebay at the mo.
Carbonfibre nova bumpers tend to be one-off creations. If you are going for weight saving some carbonfibre specialists will make one for you for about ?600, but if you just want looks some vinyl companies will use genuine carbonfibre sheets on your current bonnet for a fraction of the cost.
If you're feeling brave you & a mate can try it yourself with carbon look vinyl!!

Its for weight and looks, i wouldnt cover my metal bonnet but i was thinking about covering a fibreglass one like that on ebay. Theres been more than 10 novas featured in magazines in the past and i bet somewhere will make one for a cost :cry:

No doubt about it, a company will make up a bonnet for you, but its finding a company that will make a one off mould just for you will be very costly.
Best thing to do is to call some carbon creation companies and ask if they have done one in the past and still have the mould somewhere or if they know a company that has one.
Ita all a lot of legwork, but for the looks and weight reduction its worth it!
The fibreglass one seemed the best value for money at the moment.
